In the event you’re nonetheless utilizing TweetDeck, you’re really not, with the platform now renamed XPro as a part of the broader rebrand on the app.
The content material administration instrument, which is about to change into an XBlue unique, just lately obtained an improve, with the X crew including numerous parts of the TweetDeck Preview, which was initially previewed in July 2021, into the principle app.

There’s a spread of instruments that already offer you entry to this, and if X may incorporate the identical capabilities natively, and with knowledge direct from its servers, utilizing the total firehose of X posts, that would properly be well worth the cash to put money into XPro entry for a lot of customers.
It stays to be seen what the approaching additions for the platform can be, however there may be alternative right here, which may give X’s subscription initiatives a giant push.
