Elon Musk, who wants to make Twitter an “all-purpose” application, announced on Tuesday that it will soon be possible to make audio and video calls from the platform.
“In the near future, audio and video chats will be added to every user of this platform from your account, so you can talk to people anywhere in the world without giving them your phone number,” he said. he tweeted.
Twitter would thus offer a tool similar to that already offered by the Instagram and Facebook networks in particular.
The multi-billionaire, who bought the platform for $44 billion at the end of October, also wants to use the option of encrypting private messages on Wednesday.
“This system will rapidly become more sophisticated,” he wrote.
Since arriving at the top of Twitter, Elon Musk has multiplied the changes and new features, sometimes in a chaotic manner.
In November he mentioned his intention to develop an “all-round application” that would enable encrypted messages, longer tweets and means of payment, among other things.
