Musk last year announced plans to launch “Twitter 2.0, the app for everything,” which he said would provide features like encrypted direct messages, long-form tweets and payment services.
Musk wrote in a Twitter tweet on Tuesday, “Soon voice and video chats will be available from your (Twitter) account with anyone on this platform, so you can talk to people anywhere. without giving them your phone number.”
The Twitter communication feature will put the microblogging platform on a par with Meta-owned Facebook and Instagram apps that offer the same functionality.
Musk said a copy of the encrypted direct messaging feature will be available on Twitter starting Wednesday, but he didn’t say whether the messages would also be encrypted or not.
Twitter said this week it would begin a purge to remove or archive accounts that have been inactive for years.
