Elon Musk, owner of the social network This move is seen as a significant step towards Musk’s plan to create an “everything app.”Video and voice calling is coming to X
Musk clearly wants X to be like, or even more than, WeChat, a messaging service turned superapp that offers everything from social media and video games to fintech. Earlier this month, X Chief Executive Officer Linda Yaccarino said X would also include features like payments and banking. Yaccarino also confirmed that the video chat feature will be coming.

However, in a post made by Elon Musk today, details of X’s video and voice calling feature were announced. It was announced that the new feature will be compatible with Android, iOS, PC and Mac. Underlining that voice and video calls can be made without any phone number, Musk described X as a “global phone book”.
The interface of the voice and video calling feature is very similar to other apps that offer in-app calling. X’s video and voice calling feature will be accessible from the DM section, but Musk did not specify whether the new feature will be available only for Blue subscribers or for all X users. Additionally, it is not clear exactly when the new feature will be released, but when Musk announces a feature, it usually comes to the platform very soon.
