Audio and video calling feature coming to X soon

Users of X (formerly called Twitter) will soon be able to make audio and video calls without having to share their phone numbers. As per Musk, who announced it on his micro blogging platform, these calls will work on iOS, Android, Mac, and PC. This move will effectively turn X into the effective global address book. There is, however, no clear timeline for its launch.

  

In a post overnight, Musk said “Video & audio calls” were “coming to X,” without giving a launch date. He also did not specify how the feature will work and what safeguards are in place to avoid potential abuse. 

 

This is another offering that adds to Musk’s aim to turn X into a super app that offers users a plethora of services. 

 

If the voice and video calling feature is introduced, it will put Twitter directly in competition with the likes of Apple’s Facetime and Meta’s WhatsApp—which boasts more than 2.7 billion monthly active users. 

 

It is also not known whether Musk will restrict this feature to X Blue subscribers who pay the platform $8 per month as he has done with other new features. It is also unclear what Musk means when he says “no phone number is needed,” or if the ability to make calls will only be restricted to accounts that follow each other.
