Elon Musk, the CEO of Twitter, recently announced some new features that are soon to come to the social media platform. Among these are the ability to make calls and encrypted messaging.
Encrypted Messaging and Calls
In a tweet, Musk mentioned that Twitter’s latest app version would allow users to reply to any message in the thread, regardless of when it was sent. Furthermore, the upcoming encrypted DMs V1.0 would be released shortly, and users could expect further sophistication down the line.
Musk added that the new features would soon include voice and video chat, which would allow users to communicate with people all over the world without sharing their phone numbers.
Twitter 2.0: The Everything App
Earlier, Musk had announced his plans to create “Twitter 2.0: The Everything App.” This version of Twitter would allow users to share long-form tweets, make payments, and send encrypted direct messages.
Matching Other Social Media Platforms
With the new features, Twitter will now offer voice and video calling, a feature that Facebook and Instagram already provide. Additionally, Twitter is planning to remove and archive inactive accounts that have been dormant for several years to keep the platform clean and updated.
In Conclusion
Twitter’s upcoming features have the potential to increase engagement on the platform, which may create more opportunities to generate revenue. Elon Musk’s investment in Twitter appears to be paying off with these new and exciting updates.
