Los Angeles: After his takeover of Twitter and renaming the social media micro-blogging site as X Elon Musk, on Thursday, announced that X would soon see features like audio and video calls integrated into the platform.<\/p>\n
The feature will be compatible with Android, iOS, PC, and Mac. Interestingly, the calls can be made without any phone number, as Musk stated.<\/p>\n
\u201cVideo & audio calls coming to X: \u2013 Works on iOS, Android, Mac & PC \u2013 No phone number needed.<\/p>\n
\u2013 X is the effective global address book \u2026That set of factors is unique,\u201d he wrote on X.<\/p>\n
Musk has however not given any date for the launch of the features.<\/p>\n
In July, the company\u2019s designer Andrew Conway hinted at the feature. Conway shared screenshots of the feature in action a month ago, as per Mashable.<\/p>\n
In the screenshot, the audio and video call options are added in the top left of the DM screen.<\/p>\n
The audio and video calls are, however, another step towards Musk\u2019s vision of X becoming the \u201ceverything app\u201d. Musk has often seen himself as a challenger to Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg and has a vision to make X bigger.<\/p>\n
In a post on X earlier this month Musk said \u201cThe sad truth is that there are no great \u201csocial networks\u201d right now. We may fail, as so many have predicted, but we will try our best to make there be at least one.<\/p>\n
On August 25 X posted about the Audio and Video improvements on the platform which included allowing premium subscribers to post Long videos of upto 2 hours, improved live broadcasting quality from mobile, immersive video player in Android and iOS and speak in & co-host a Space on web \u2013 support for millions of participants on Spaces.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
