Elon Musk, CEO of X, formerly Twitter, announced this Thursday (31) that the network will have a new feature that will allow audio and video calls in the application. Musk plans to build a super application, which will offer a series of services, from messaging and social networks, with the possibility of making payments. In addition, the CEO plans to stay ahead of the competition that Meta's Threads has established.

• According to the billionaire, users will not need a phone number to use the feature;
• It will be available for iOS and Mac (Apple), Android (Google) and other personal computers;
• Despite the announcement, there is no release date.

Since 2022, when the billionaire acquired the network, the platform has undergone several changes. The most recent was the name and logo, retiring the famous blue bird

After the change, Elon Musk explained that the idea was to transform X into an application that centralized everything that online life currently demands, being not just a network for entertainment, but a service platform.

The entrepreneur's vision is reminiscent of Tencent's WeChat app: known as the “WhatsApp of the Chinese”, it offers a wide range of integrated features, allowing users to carry out activities without leaving the app. See here how to use the Chinese app!

The social network is implementing other recent changes, including the return of political ads as a way to recoup lost advertising revenue. In addition, a new way to display news links is being developed, where the publication will only have a link and an image, without a description or title. Learn more about these changes here!
