(X Tests “Virtual Gifting” Between Users in Different Countries)
SAN FRANCISCO, DATE – X announced a test today. This test involves a feature called “Virtual Gifting.” Users in different countries can send digital gifts to each other. This is part of X’s effort to build new features for its users.
The virtual gifting test lets users buy and send digital items. These items are sent directly within the X platform. Users see these gifts as special animations or icons. The test is available to a limited group of users globally. X wants to see how people use this feature. They also want feedback.
A key part of this test is cross-border interaction. Users in one country can send gifts to users in another country. This aims to connect people across the world. It lets users show support or appreciation internationally. X thinks this could make global communities stronger.
This test might help creators earn money too. Followers could send virtual gifts to show they like a creator’s posts. X is looking at ways creators can make money on the platform. Virtual gifting is one possibility being explored.

The virtual gifts are bought using in-app payments. Different gifts have different prices. Users choose the gift they want to send. The receiver gets a notification about the gift. The test will run for a specific period. X will decide the next steps based on the results. The feature is not available to everyone right now. It is only a test.
