Elon Musk wants to introduce video and audio calls on X, in what is a new step to expand the platform that aspires to become an 'app for everything'. It is not the first time that the billionaire announces this feature, it does so again this time on his X profile It then lists a series of functions, but not the release times.
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.

"It will be available on iOS, Android, Mac and PC; no phone numbers will be needed; the address book will be the same X. A unique set of factors." At the moment chats like Telegram and Whatsapp need the phone number to be able to work.
Elon Musk aims to make X an all-encompassing app, similar to WeChat and offer from social media experience to video games through finance.
The message appears while his biography, written by Walter Isaacson, is released, in which he talks about the acquisition of the social network. "What Twitter needs is a fire-breathing dragon," he said on March 31, 2022 during a dinner with then-CEO Parag Agrawal, when it had just emerged that the billionaire had bought shares in the platform. The hypothesis of buying the company that chirps was not yet in the air.
