Users will not need a phone number for the features that will be available on Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL)’s iOS, Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL)’s Android and personal computers, Musk said in post on X on Thursday.
He did not give a timeline for the launch.
After rebranding Twitter as X, Musk signaled he would turn the platform into a super app offering a range of services from messaging and social networking to peer-to-peer payments.
The vision brings to mind Tencent’s WeChat app – a ubiquitous part of daily life in China.
Musk, who continues to spearhead product development at X after appointing a new CEO in May, is also pushing to change how news links appear on the platform in a move that could undermine the reach of news publishers.
