SAN FRANCISCO: Twitter Inc Chief Executive Elon Musk has revealed the latest features, including video calls and encrypted messages on the platform.
According to Reuters, the previous year, Musk flagged plans for “Twitter 2.0 The Everything App” last year, which he said would have features such as encrypted direct messages (DMs), long-form tweets and payments.
Musk said, “Coming soon would be video chat and voice from your handle to anyone on this platform, so you can negotiate with people anywhere in the globe without giving them your phone number.”
The call feature on Twitter would bring the micro-blogging platform into line with the likes of Meta’s (META.O) social media applications, Facebook and Instagram, which have similar features.
Musk said the version of direct encrypted messages would be available on Twitter starting Wednesday but didn’t say if calls would be encrypted.
Twitter this week said it would start a cleansing process by removing and archiving accounts that have been inactive for several years.
