Elon Musk has announced that X will be getting an audio and video calls feature very soon. He has also specified that the new feature will be compatible with Android, iOS, PC, and Mac.

Musk claims that audio and video calls can be made without any phone number. Implying the same, he said, "X is the effective global address book."

In a tweet, Elon Musk said, " Video & audio calls coming to X". He further provided some details about the feature that made it unique. He said, "The new feature does not require a phone number."

The new X feature has been teased multiple times in the past and now the feature is expected to make an appearance in one of the upcoming update. Twitter designer Andrea Conway had shared snippets of the new features, including the UI.

The interface of the audio and video call looks very similar to other applications that offer in-app calling. The user will have the option to either make an audio or video call from the DM section. Elon Musk has not specified whether this new feature will only be available for Blue subscribers or it will be made available to all X users.
