The social media site X, previously known as Twitter, will introduce video and audio calls as its owner Elon Musk hurries to create an “everything app” to match the competing Threads, owned by Meta Platforms.
X roll out audio video calling feature: According to Musk’s post on X on Thursday, users of Apple’s iOS, Google’s Android, and personal computers will not require a phone number to use the capabilities.
He omitted to provide a debut date.
Musk indicated he will transform the platform into a mega app offering a range of services from peer-to-peer payments to chat and social networking after rebranding Twitter as X.
The image reminds me of Tencent’s WeChat app, which is a fixture of Chinese daily life.
Musk is pushing to change how news links show on the platform, a move that might limit the reach of news publishers. Musk continues to lead product development at X despite appointing a new CEO in May.
