Musk did it again. The CEO of the company introduces new innovations every day. Musk wants to make everything related to Twitter history. This time, it took advantage of the video and voice calling feature. The video and voice calls feature, which is free on many platforms, will now be paid for on Twitter, formerly known as X. This feature will only be available to paying users.
Video and voice calls on X will be available to paying subscribers only!
Elon Musk has repeatedly stated that he wants to turn platform X, known as Twitter, into an “everything” application. He did his best to achieve this goal and put the Twitter name on the shelf. One of the steps taken by the company in this direction is undoubtedly the voice and video calling feature. The company announced this new feature in July. While the whole world was eagerly waiting for this feature, sad news came.
Unfortunately, this important new feature in the latest version of the X app will not be for everyone. According to the information obtained from the new code, this feature will only cover Premium subscribers. There are 1 million users who pay $8 per month for X’s Premium subscription service. Only they will benefit from the voice and video calling feature.
X (Twitter) is removing the feature that users use most!
Environment, which is among the most used features of X (Twitter), is unfortunately being discontinued soon.
Details about the issue emerged with Chris Messina’s post. Chris Messina is the originator of the hashtag concept and shares technology-related information. He shared screenshots of the code he found regarding the audio and video phone call feature in the X application on his Threads account. in x code “Take messaging to the next level with voice and video calls. Turn the feature on and then choose who you are comfortable using it with.” he is writing. Moreover “Voice and video calls are a premium feature” statement also stands out. In short, Musk requires subscription to gain access.
Does the company, which updated this feature for X Premium subscribers, now aim to make the platform paid? If so, how will this affect the behavior of X users? It seems that this will intensify the competition with Threads. So what do you think about this issue? You can share your opinions in the comments.
