In a recent update to its mobile app for Android, the social network X integrated the expected functionality of calling and video calling. Elon Musk, owner of the former Twitter, announced last summer his intention to transform X into an all-in-one app, and now embodies that vision by making these options accessible on Android devices.

The feature, initially launched in October for iOS users via the premium subscription, is now expanding to the Android platform with the latest update of the app. An X engineer confirmed that since last Thursday, Android users can enjoy voice and video calls through the ‘app’.

TechCrunch notes that while only subscribers can make calls, any user of the platform has the ability to receive and participate in calls.

The ambition to turn X into a comprehensive application is reinforced with the implementation of payments and the integration of artificial intelligence, planned for this year. These advances aim to improve the experience for both users and advertisers on the platform.

The social network Instagram has begun to test a function that allows users to choose whether to hide the information from the counter of “likes” of the publications, a feature that will also be tested on Facebook later.

Since 2019, although only in the testing phase, Instagram stopped automatically showing the post’s likes counter for some users, so that people can focus more on content and less on popularity.

Now, Instagram has begun to give a small percentage of its users on a global scale, also as a test, the possibility to choose between three options on how they see likes on the platform, as the company has confirmed to TechCrunch.

The first one hides all Instagram like counters, while the second only removes them from the user’s own posts. The third keeps the information intact and continues to report the likes.

This configuration can be established both from the settings menu of the social network and in each publication separately, through the three-point button on the posts.
