Investing.com - X, this social media platform whose former incarnation was Twitter, is now under the ownership of xAI, led by Elon Musk (the company was recently acquired by SpaceX). On Tuesday, it rolled out a photo-editing feature for its post editor.

Nikita Bier, X’s product lead, announced the feature via a post on the platform. The new photo editor includes drawing and text features, as well as two X platform-specific capabilities: text-editing functionality powered by the AI chatbot Grok, and an option to apply a blur effect to parts of a photo for editing.

The feature is now available on iOS, with an Android version coming soon. “Try this feature and post some photos,” Bier wrote in the platform’s announcement.

Adobe (NASDAQ:ADBE) shares fell 1.8% on Monday, but this decline does not appear to be related to X’s announcement, as the stock barely moved after the product launch. Software stocks saw a sharp drop, tied to AI tools released by companies including Anthropic and Google.

Market observers noted that this rollout represents yet another AI-powered tool, which could compete with established software companies.
