On Tuesday, Twitter Inc CEO Elon Musk revealed details about new features coming to the platform, including calls and encrypted messaging.
Musk hinted at plans for ‘Twitter 2.0 The Everything App’ last year, promising encrypted direct messages (DMs), long-form tweets, and payments.
“Coming soon will be voice and video chat from your handle to anyone on this platform, so you can talk to people anywhere in the world without giving them your phone number,” Musk said in a tweet on Tuesday.
The call feature on Twitter will bring the microblogging platform in line with similar features on Meta’s social media apps, Facebook and Instagram, Reuters reported.
Musk stated that an encrypted version of direct messages will be available on Twitter beginning Wednesday, but he did not specify whether calls will be encrypted.
Twitter announced this week that it will begin a cleanup effort by removing and archiving accounts that have been inactive for several years.
