This is good news for Xbox owners who want to hang around in the chat who are away from their console or PC and for those who may have defective headsets. The chat feature, currently in beta testing, will roll out to Xbox apps within the next few months will be available not just for Android but for iOS devices.
Right now, Andriod users can get the latest update at the Google Play Store which is available to anyone and everyone. Bear in mind that the app is in beta testing which the full app version is expected to relaunch soon.
For iOS owners, you can sign up using the Microsoft form for the beta testing via the TestFlight program which only reserves limited spaces.
