Elon Musk's Latest Announcement: Twitter to Add Audio and Video Calls, Encrypted Messaging - Details Here

New Delhi: Twitter users are in for a treat as the platform prepares to add more features. The company's CEO, Elon Musk , announced that Twitter will soon allow audio and video calls as well as encrypted messaging. This news comes almost a year after Musk revealed plans for "Twitter 2.0 The Everything App," which includes encrypted direct messages, long-form tweets, and payments.

Audio and Video Calls
Musk tweeted, "Coming soon will be voice and video chat from your handle to anyone on this platform, so you can talk to people anywhere in the world without giving them your phone number." This feature is expected to revolutionize how users communicate on the platform, making it easier and more convenient to connect with people globally.

Encrypted Messaging
Musk also mentioned that a version of encrypted direct messages will be available on Twitter starting Wednesday. This feature is set to enhance user privacy and protection. He stated, "This will grow in sophistication rapidly. The acid test is that I could not see your DMs even if there was a gun to my head."

Media Houses Charging Users on a Per Article Basis
In another tweet, Musk announced that Twitter will allow media publishers to charge users on a per-article basis with just one click. This feature will roll out next month and is expected to change how people consume news and information on the platform.

Removing Inactive Accounts
As part of Twitter's effort to keep the platform clean and updated, the company announced plans to remove and archive inactive accounts that have not been used for several years. This move aims to free up usernames and improve the platform's overall user experience.
