Elon Musk, the owner of the social media site X, has made plans to include voice and video calling capabilities in the app.
Musk revealed that the new functions will not require the usage of a mobile number when he announced the development on Thursday.
Musk wrote:
“Video and audio calls coming to X. Works on Android, iOS, Mac & PC. No phone number needed. X is the effective global address book. That set of factors is unique.”
This is coming some weeks after X, formerly known as Twitter, started paying rewards to creators who are Twitter Blue subscribers.
Platinum Times reports that Musk had in July replaced the social media’s globally recognised blue bird logo with a white X on a black background.
