Hyderabad: In an attempt to make X(formerly twitter) an 'everything app', Elon Musk-owned X Corp has initiated the roll out of its new feature supporting audio and video calls on its social media platform.
The tech enthusiasts believe that this step is an outcome of the X-Meta rivalry, in which the Musk owned platform, in a bid to take on Meta-owned WhatsApp, has started this latest feature.
Elon Musk announced the new feature on X by replying to the detailed post regarding the feature by the X handle DogeDesigner. "Early version of video and audio calling on X," Musk wrote.

Several X users received a notification while opening the social media app that reads: “Audio and video calls are here!” There’s also a new “Enable audio and video calling” toggle within the app’s settings. It says you can “turn the feature on and then select who you’re comfortable using it with.”
Initially, the social media platform, X teased users with a cryptic post saying “ready for it...?” before the new feature started appearing.
