Twitter reinvents itself under the command of Elon Musk! From changing its name to X to redesigning its logo, the platform is in constant transformation. But this is just the beginning of Musk’s ambitious vision to revolutionize the app into a multi-function hub.

Perspective Writing

The last big addition will be the ability to make audio and video calls right in the app. X is moving towards a multi-purpose service that goes far beyond simple messages and posts.

Musk announced in a tweet that we will soon be able to make video and audio calls through X. Although he did not give an exact date for its launch, he did say that it will work on iOS, Android, Mac and PC. Yes, even on the desktop version!

Video & audio calls coming to X:

– Works on iOS, Android, Mac & PC
– No phone number needed
– X is the effective global address book

That set of factors is unique.— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) August 31, 2023

And here’s the intriguing twist: You won’t need the other person’s phone number! Calls will be made through usernames on the social network, similar to how it works on Telegram. Twitter is positioning itself as the “global address book”, connecting you with anyone easily.

What do you think of this new feature? The first reactions are positive, with some even predicting that it could overtake Facebook Messenger in the future.

On the horizon, we expect even more amazing features on Twitter. Will it become a kind of ‘WeChat’, allowing us to do much more than just send messages? The road to the evolution of social networks is taking shape in X.
