X makes audio and video calls available to more users
X, a renowned social platform, has made a significant announcement. They are now introducing audio and video calls to a wider user base. Previously, this feature was exclusively available to X Premium subscribers. However, the company has now decided to extend this exciting feature to all users.
X Premium, previously known as Twitter Blue, offered paid subscribers exclusive features such as post editing, longer video uploads, text formatting, verified badges, increased post reach, and reduced ad frequency. But now, X is offering audio and video calls within their platform to all users without any subscription fee.
The audio and video call feature can be found within X’s direct messaging, working in a similar way to popular apps like WhatsApp and Instagram. Moreover, thanks to the integration with the iOS CallKit API, users will also receive incoming calls on their Lock Screen, providing a seamless calling experience.
The integration of audio and video calls, however, received mixed reactions. Apprehensions were raised regarding the possibility of receiving calls from unknown people. X understands these concerns and empowers users to have control over their calling experience. Users can easily manage their call settings to define who can call them. They also have the option to turn off the calling feature entirely. Here’s a simple guide to modifying the audio and video calling settings on X:
- Open the X app
- Tap on your profile picture at the top
- Go to Settings and privacy
- Click on Privacy and safety
- Select the Direct Messages option
- Modify the audio and video calling options as per your preference
To benefit from this incredible calling feature, make sure to download the latest version of the X app from the App Store. Stay connected and enjoy the enhanced social experience offered by X.
