Elon Musk is right in the middle of Twitter rebranding. As many of you know, Twitter is becoming ‘X’, basically. The new logo is here, as is a new name, but the remains of Twitter are still visible. Many new features are also coming to X, including audio and video calling, it seems.
X aka Twitter will get audio & video calling features soon
This information comes from Abhishek Yadav, a tipster. He shared what seems to be a screenshot taken on an iOS device, showing both audio and video calling options. You can see that screenshot below.
It seems like you’ll be able to allow who can call you. You’ll be able to choose between people in your address book, people you follow, people who subscribe to you, verified users, and everyone. You’ll be able to mix and match these options.
We’re not sure if this will be limited to paid subscribers or not
We’re not sure when this feature is coming, though, nor whether it will be available to everyone, or just paid subscribers. Considering this screenshot is already out there, we presume that the feature is coming soon.
This is not the only new feature that is expected to land on X soon, not at all. Elon Musk wants to make ‘X’ into an “everything app”, as he’s inspired by China’s WeChat. He talked about that in the past.
So, a recent report suggested that job listings are coming to X, and then Twitter’s CEO confirmed plans for banking and payment features too. We’re only scratching the surface here.
You can expect X to mark a considerable change for Twitter, as the app will become a lot more versatile, and won’t focus solely on the social media aspect of things. We do expect many more such reports to surface in the near future, so stay tuned.
