It seems like new announcements about the future of X are being made every day from Elon Musk. Finally, this is not so surprising for those who follow the news of the social network closely. The billionaire announced yesterday that audio and video calls are coming to the platform soon, followed by some key details.
Thus, Elon Musk promises that the functionality will be available on all versions of the social network – Android, iOS, PC and Mac. As with its competitors who already offer this feature, and contrary to what Elon Musk claims in his publication, you will not need to enter your phone number in the application to take advantage of this feature, which will make you more happy.
Voice and video calls are coming to X, that’s to be expected
The last detail, usual for billionaires, is more self-congratulatory, since the latter characterizes X. “globally influential address book”. It goes without saying, of course, that the whole world is not on the social network. Either way, the next step in transforming what was once Twitter confirms Elon Musk’s ultimate goal: to make X an all-in-one app.
In this context, the platform has also recently acquired a license to send and receive money on American soil, and plans to use this license to start cryptocurrency transfers, at least for the first time. So Twitter’s metamorphosis is still far from over, and we’ll have to look at Elon Musk’s targeted Chinese rival, WeChat, to find out what happens next.
Video and audio calls to X:
– Works on iOS, Android, Mac and PC
– No phone number needed
– X is effective global address bookThis set of factors is unique.
