Messages, voice, chat rooms and soon calls and payment? Twitter, now X, wants to become more than just a social network. Like the WeChat app in China, Twitter wants to become a multifunctional service, used for all needs.
Thus, the director of the social network, Linda Yaccarino, announced during an interview with CNBC that in the future it would be possible to call through the application. Few details were given about this future feature, except that calls will be possible “without giving someone your phone number.”
Available on all devices
To make these calls, however, it should be necessary to have an internet connection, like what Instagram can currently offer with phone conversations available in private message conversations.
However, a few hours before the interview with the director of the social network, Andrea Conway, designer of X, had “spoiled” the novelty, claiming on Twitter that she had managed to make a call in the application.
Still on Twitter, Elon Musk added that the calls will be available on iOS, Android, Windows, Linux and Mac, so all devices and not just smartphones.
upcoming video calls
In addition to these phone calls, Linda Yaccarino clarified that Twitter would also offer video calls, just as other social networks offer.
These additions could allow Elon Musk to realize his dream of an “all-purpose” app. Especially since Linda Yaccarino has confirmed the intention of the owner of the social network to add payment functions to the application.
However, the two brains of the network have not advanced any release date. However, there is no doubt that they should arrive very soon, given the speed of execution of the social media teams when it comes to adding a new option.
