Elon Musk Now Opens Video And Audio Calls On X For All Users, Even The Free Ones
X Premium got the calling feature earlier but the Elon Musk-owned platform is now letting everyone use the feature. Here's how it works.

X Premium users have enjoyed making audio and video calls on the platform for a while, but now Elon Musk has decided to bring the feature to all the users on X, even those who don’t pay for the platform. Bringing calls to X makes it a rival to WhatsApp and other apps that let you make calls in both forms.

Having said that, it is interesting to Musk to open up the feature to all the X users, which probably suggests the premium adoption of the platform hasn’t gone as rosy as he would have imagined. X notes that by default, users can receive calls from the accounts they follow or have in their address book. Additionally, there is another prerequisite: to call a user, you must have sent them a DM, and they must have sent you a DM “at least once before.”

To control who can call you, or to disable calling on X entirely follow these steps:

– Open X, and head to the DM section. Here, in the top right corner, you will see the settings icon. Tap to open

– X gives you the option disable the feature entirely using the toggle button

You can also limit who can call by selecting from; ‘People in your address book,’ ‘People you follow,’ and ‘Verified users.’

How to make video/audio calls on X

– Open your direct messages

– Tap on an existing DM conversation or start a new conversation

– Tap on the phone icon

– Tap on the phone icon, and then on ‘Audio call’ to start an audio call, or tap ‘Video call’ to start a video call

The person you call will receive a notification that you’re calling them. If they don’t pick up, they’ll get a notification that they missed a call.

What's your reaction?
