(New York) Elon Musk, who aims to make Twitter an “all-purpose” application, announced on Tuesday that it would soon be possible to make audio and video calls from the platform.
“Audio and video chats will soon be added from your account to any user of this platform, which will allow you to 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 those already available on the Instagram and Facebook networks in particular.
The multibillionaire, who bought the platform for 44 billion dollars at the end of October, also plans to deploy the possibility of encrypting private messages on Wednesday.
“This system will quickly become more sophisticated,” he wrote.
Since his arrival at the head of Twitter, Elon Musk has multiplied the changes and new features, sometimes in a chaotic way.
He had mentioned in November his intention to build a “do-it-all application” allowing, among other things, encrypted messages, longer tweets and means of payment.
