Twitter’s new owner Elon Musk has announced that the social media platform will soon add audio and video calling features.
The feature will be compatible with Android, iOS, PC and Mac and will not require users to have a phone number.
Video & audio calls coming to X:
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) August 31, 2023
– Works on iOS, Android, Mac & PC
– No phone number needed
– X is the effective global address book
That set of factors is unique.
The announcement was made by Musk himself on Twitter, who said the calls would be a “unique combination of factors” that would make Twitter an “effective global address book.” He did not give a specific date for the launch of the feature.
The audio and video calling features are part of Musk’s vision for Twitter to become an “everything app.” Musk has said that he wants Twitter to be more than just a place to share news and information, but also a platform for people to connect with each other in a meaningful way.
Audio and video calling features will be an important addition to Twitter and make it more competitive with other social media platforms such as Facebook and Zoom.
These features will also be beneficial for businesses and organizations that use Twitter for customer service or other purposes.
Musk’s announcement has received mixed reactions. Some users have welcomed the news, while others have expressed privacy and security concerns. It remains to be seen how the audio and video calling features will be implemented, and how users will react to them.
In addition to audio and video calling features, Twitter is making other changes under Musk’s ownership. The company has announced that it will relax its content moderation policies and add new features to make the platform more user-friendly.
It remains to be seen how these changes will affect Twitter’s popularity and user base. However, Musk’s announcement of audio and video calling features is an important step toward his vision of making Twitter an “everything app.”
