Elon Musk tweeted that he will discontinue his phone number in a few months and will only use X for texts and audio/video calls.
Elon Musk is intensifying the focus on calling functionality within X (formerly Twitter). X had initially introduced video and audio calling for a limited group of users last year, a fact disclosed by Musk. He has consistently advocated for X to transform into an “everything app,” describing it as an “early version of video & audio calling on X.”
On Friday, Elon Musk tweeted, ‘In a few months, I will discontinue my phone number and only use X for texts and audio/video calls.
This latest addition comes amid numerous enhancements and changes to the platform’s core experience under Musk’s leadership, following his acquisition of the social media company nearly a year ago. After rebranding Twitter as X, Musk indicated his intention to turn the platform into a super-app, providing a wide range of services including messaging, social networking, and peer-to-peer payments.
Teasing the feature in August last year, Musk highlighted that users would not need a phone number to access these functionalities, which are compatible with Apple’s iOS, Google’s Android, and personal computers.
