Jakarta – Elon Musk now allowing the X or formerly Twitter users to enjoy the audio and video calls features on the platform.
"Early version of video and audio calling on X," Elon Musk wrote in a post that contained a screenshoot showing how to turn the new feature in the settings.
According the Verge, several X users received a notification when opening the app stating: "Audio and video calls are here!"
This includes the option to allow audio and video calls only from people in your address book, people you follow, verified users, or all of them.

Moreover, Musk recently said the feature would be available on iOS, Android, Mac, and PC, with no phone number needed.
It’s still not clear how widely X has launched audio and video calls or if non-Premium users can use it.
Last month, hashtag inventor and open-source advocate Chris Messina found that X’s code suggested that users would have to sign up for X’s Premium subscription to use it. X didn’t immediately respond for comment.
