In July, the boss of Tesla and SpaceX renamed Twitter “X”, to signal the pivot he planned to make at the company he bought on October 27, 2022.
Elon Musk has repeatedly mentioned his intention to make the social network an “all-purpose application”, like WeChat in China, which serves as well as a messaging service as a payments service.
The new option seems for the moment reserved for Blue subscribers, which allows, among other things, access to new products still in the testing phase.
“Take messaging to the next level with audio and video calling. Activate the option and then select who you want to use it with: people in your address book; the people you follow; authenticated users,” says the screenshot uploaded by “DogeDesigner.”
At the end of August, Elon Musk announced the upcoming arrival of audio and video calls on X, specifying that they would be available on Android, iOS, mac and PC, and without the need for a telephone number.
“X is the world directory,” he added.
However, X’s user count has fallen to 225 million, or 11% fewer than before the acquisition, according to a recent interview with Linda Yaccarino, X’s chief executive.
Many advertisers have also deserted the platform in the face of the chaotic changes imposed by Elon Musk, from the upheaval of the authentication system to the relaxation of content moderation.
