California-based social networking platform X, which recently made a transition from Twitter, is gearing up to unveil a new video calling functionality.
In a recent interview, X’s CEO Linda Icarino shared insights about this upcoming feature, highlighting that users will be able to engage in video chats seamlessly, all while safeguarding their privacy by not requiring the disclosure of their phone numbers.
X’s decision to integrate video calling into its platform coincides with similar moves by other social networking giants, who have also announced plans to introduce video call capabilities. This development comes amid a period of challenges for X, stemming from the leadership change at Twitter, led by Elon Musk, which occurred last year.
The recent appointment of Linda Icarino as CEO in June marks a strategic effort to infuse stability and transformative changes into the X platform.
