Does Flexbox eliminate the need for media queries?

I'm sure I missed where this was explained or it will be later but I'm confused at the moment. Is flexbox used instead of media queries or are the 2 used together to make responsive layouts?

Lucia Berocay The two can be used in conjunction, flex-box may help with responsiveness, but it does not completely reduce the need for media queries in all instances. Flex-box has a lot of awesome features that help with setting up the overall layout of your website though! It can be used in conjunction with CSS grid as well which can be very powerful, but there are certain properties that not be supported in all browsers/older browsers. Hope this helps, good luck with your programming!
