Similar to Facebook.. Mask reveals unprecedented advantages to Twitter

 Twitter CEO Elon Musk unveiled details of new features, including making calls and exchanging encrypted messages on the platform. Musk announced last year his plans to launch "Twitter 2.0 the app for everything," which he said would provide features such as encrypted direct messages, long-form tweets, and payments services.

Musk wrote in a tweet on Twitter, Tuesday, “Soon, voice and video chats will be available from your (Twitter) account with anyone on this platform, so you will be able to talk to people anywhere without giving them your phone number.”

The Twitter communication feature will put the micro-blogging platform on par with the Meta-owned Facebook and Instagram applications that provide the same features.

Musk said that a copy of the encrypted direct message feature will be available on Twitter starting Wednesday, but he did not say whether the messages would also be encrypted or not. Twitter said this week that it would begin a purge to delete or archive accounts that have been inactive for years.
