Elon Musk has announced that video and audio calls will soon be available on X(formerly Twitter). X or Twitter, whatever you call it, has been in the news since it’s takeover by the world’s richest man last October. Last month, the platform was rebranded to X, surprising many hardcore users.
Since then, Elon Musk announced that many new features are coming to the microblogging site. Introducing Audio and video calls to the platform means that Elon Musk plans to compete with the social media apps owned by Meta. Musk also announced his plan to make X an “everything app” just like the WeChat app.
There are very few details shared by Musk about the upcoming communication feature on X. First of all, the feature will be available for all users globally and users can use this feature on Android, iOS, Mac, web and Windows meaning it will be available for all the commonly used operating system. Secondly, users will not need a phone number to make a call. This means that for this feature users just need a username of the person they want to make a call. This is just more secure, especially in scenarios where one person does not want to share their phone number with another person.
Video & audio calls coming to X:
– Works on iOS, Android, Mac & PC
– No phone number needed
– X is the effective global address bookThat set of factors is unique.

This was all that Elon Musk shared about the upcoming communication feature on the platform. Musk shared the news of the upcoming feature via his X handle.
