Owner of social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Elon Musk, has announced plans to roll out audio and video calling features within the app.
Musk shared this development in a platform post, stating, “Video & audio calls coming to X.”
Video & audio calls coming to X:
– Works on iOS, Android, Mac & PC

According to him, these features will be accessible on Apple’s iOS, Google’s Android, and PC without requiring a phone number.
However, Musk did not provide specific details or a launch timeline for these new features.
This move aligns with Musk’s broader strategy to transform X into an all-encompassing “everything app” that offers a wide array of services, from messaging to social networking and peer-to-peer payments.
Despite appointing a new CEO, Musk remains actively involved in product development and is exploring changes in how news links appear on the platform, which could impact news publishers’ reach on X.
