XDA (formerly known as XDA Developers) is a mobile software development community launched on 20 December 2002. Although discussion primarily revolves around Android, members also talk about many other operating systems and mobile development topics.

Many software and hardware hacks, rooting methods, custom ROMs, and other phone and tablet specific tweaks originate from the members of the XDA Forum.

XDA also hosts the XDA Portal — a source for tech news, product reviews, guides, and features — as well as XDA Labs (shut down in 2020), an Android app and repository that acts as a third-party application provider. They were launched in 2010 and 2016, respectively.

Montreal based Valnet Inc. acquired XDA along with four other websites, Pocketnow, AppAdvice, BackyardBoss and Hook&Bullet from Busy Pixel Media in February 2022.

XDA with 11 million members, is listed as the largest Mobile Development forum based website by Feedspot in 2023 and among the top 70 technology forums to follow.
