SAN FRANCISCO: Social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, is introducing an early version of video and audio calling for some users, according to chief technology officer and owner Elon Musk, as the billionaire pushes for X to become an “everything application”.
Musk characterized a post on the platform providing instructions to users on enabling the feature as an “Early version of video & audio calling on X”.
The recent addition comes amid a series of new features and changes to the platform’s core experience under Musk, who acquired the social media company nearly a year ago.
Following the rebranding of Twitter as X, Musk signalled he would turn the platform into a super-app, extending its services to include messaging and social networking to peer-to-peer payments.
Teasing the feature in August, Musk stated that users would not require a phone number for the features, which will be compatible with Apple’s iOS, Google’s Android and personal computers.
