Twitter’s new owner Elon Musk has announced that the social media platform will soon add audio and video calling features.
Musk announced in a tweet Thursday that the new features will be available “without the need for a phone number.” He also said that the facilities are “special”.
Adding audio and video calling features would be a big step for Twitter, which has long been viewed as a text-based platform. The new features will allow users to have more personal and interactive conversations on the platform.
While Musk continues to announce these features as “coming,” it’s still unclear when the new features will be rolled out to users.
Adding audio and video calling features is just one of the changes Musk has planned for Twitter. He also said that he wants to make the platform more open and transparent and crack down on spam and bots.
How successful Musk will be in his efforts to transform Twitter remains to be seen. However, the addition of audio and video calling features is an important step in this direction.
