The X NFT profile image is no longer available to premium users, as Elon’s team has silently removed it. This feature made its official appearance on the platform a few years ago when NFTs were a trending topic on the internet. During this time, the now-renamed X app was known as Twitter, and some tweeps on the platform were buying NFTs and needed a way to show off their purchases.
With this need, the then Twitter team launched the NFT profile picture feature. Even after Elon Musk purchased Twitter and renamed it X, this feature has been available to premium users. But now, everything is changing as this feature is silently leaving the platform as the fuzz about NFTs is not as much as it was a few years ago.
If you are finding it hard to identify what an NFT profile picture is, it stands out from other profile pictures as a hexagon and not a circle. Previously, clicking on this hexagonal profile picture will show the digital ownership of the NFT on display. Now there’ll be no link to show the ownership of the NFTs to display as X profile pictures.
However, sources claim that the hexagonal shape of the NFT profile picture will remain. With time and possibly depending on the user reactions, X might also remove the hexagonal shape identifying NFT profile pictures. This change is coming alongside other improvements that the platform hopes to bring in the coming months.
Some of the coming improvements to the X platform involve the introduction of peer-to-peer payment. Some users are already experimenting with the AI capabilities that are now available on X. In the coming months, more AI features and payment integrations will find their way to the platform.
