Musk said in a post on X on Thursday that users would not need a phone number for features available on Apple’s iOS, Google’s Android and personal computers.
Incoming video and audio calls on X:
– Works on iOS, Android, Mac and PC

He did not give a timeline for the launch.
After rebranding Twitter as X, Musk indicated that he would turn the platform into a super app that would provide a range of services from messaging and social networking to peer-to-peer payments.
The approach brings to mind Tencent’s (0700.HK) WeChat app – a ubiquitous part of daily life in China.
Musk, who is leading product development at X following the appointment of a new CEO in May, is also pushing to change how news links appear on the platform, which could undermine the reach of news publishers. .
