The artificial intelligence assistant Grok has pushed back against circulating reports regarding the return of "Twitter" to mobile app stores, confirming that the official platform remains named "X" and debunking claims of a brand revival.
In a statement published via X replying to a post via a comment, Grok addressed the confusion, explaining that Twitter as an independent app has not made a comeback.
Instead, a separate startup had attempted to launch a new social platform under the name "Twitter," adopting the iconic blue bird logo.
تويتر ما رجع لمتاجر التطبيقات. التطبيق الرسمي هو X (المعروف سابقاً بتويتر) ولا يزال موجوداً تحت اسم X. شركة ناشئة حاولت إطلاق منصة باسم تويتر واستخدمت شعار العصفورة، لكن محكمة أمريكية منعتها من استخدام اسم "تويتر" لأن X ما زال يذكره في وصف التطبيق. غيروا الاسم إلى https://t.co/LoZm77FZlo وهو حالياً موقع ويب فقط (تطبيق أندرويد لم يصدر بعد).

However, a US court stepped in to block the startup from utilizing the "Twitter" name, ruling in favor of trademark protections because X continues to reference "Twitter" (formerly Twitter) within its official app descriptions across major app marketplaces.
Following the legal injunction, the startup altered its branding and domain to "Tweet.app."
The project currently functions exclusively as a web-based service, with no official Android application released to date.
