In a tweet on Thursday, Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and Twitter, announced that X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, is set to introduce a new feature that will allow users to make audio and video calls without having to share their phone numbers.
“Video & audio calls coming to X: Works on iOS, Android, Mac & PC, No phone number needed, X is the effective global address book,” Musk tweeted.
The new feature is expected to be rolled out in the coming weeks. It will be available to all X users, regardless of their device or platform.
The introduction of audio and video calling is a significant development for X. It will allow users to communicate more easily and effectively with their friends, family, and colleagues. It will also make it easier for users to connect with new people.
The new feature is also a competitive move against other social media platforms, such as Facebook and WhatsApp, which already offer audio and video calling features.
It remains to be seen how successful the new feature will be. However, it is a clear sign that Musk is committed to making X a more comprehensive and user-friendly platform.
In addition to audio and video calling, X is also reportedly working on a number of other new features, such as an edit button and a verification system for users. These features are expected to be rolled out in the coming months.
X is still in its early stages of development, but it has the potential to become a major player in the social media landscape. With Musk’s vision and resources, X could become the go-to platform for communication and information sharing.
