X users can now make and receive audio and video calls on the social media platform.

X is rolling out audio and video calling features that nobody asked for.

This move is a part of the plan to transform the platform into an “everything app” like WeChat, following Elon Musk’s ambition.

    I video call with my boyfriend every few days or so, and since we’re on opposite ends of the Atlantic Ocean, it’s a really nice way to connect on a deeper level than a basic audio call.

    It’s very well established that a massive amount of human communication happens through faces. Is it really that hard to imagine that people might like seeing the face of a person they care about?

        Don’t see the point of looking at your face when you probably should’ve texted in the first place.

        You said you don’t see the point of looking at someone’s face, so I gave a reason why people might actually rather like that. I don’t really see the hostility there, but you do you.
