Android users may now make voice and video calls with Social Network X (previously Twitter).
X introduces audio and video calls: “Today, Android users may gradually experience audio and video conversations on X! Call your mother and update your app. Enrique, an engineer involved in the project, stated.
The CEO of X, Linda Yaccarino, first revealed video chat on the platform in August of last year as a part of their joint venture with owner Elon Musk to develop a “everything” app. Naturally, the benefits of their grand plan, such as the ability to make voice, video chats, are mostly exclusive to premium users. But regardless of whether they contribute to Musk’s ambitions, customers may still receive calls (which will set you back $8 a month or $84 a year).
X has introduced three paid tiers: Basic, Premium, and Premium+. Each higher tier offers additional features such as a blue checkmark, revenue sharing, post modification, longer video uploads, and access to xAI chatbot Grok. The Basic tier is priced at $3 per month, the Premium tier at $8 per month, and the Premium+ tier at $16 per month.
Open an existing discussion or start a new one with an X user to initiate a call. Next, select the option you want to use initiate an audio or video call. All accounts can receive calls through the app, according to a support article from the firm; however, you have the ability to manage who can contact you through the DM Settings.
Only users with whom you have texted at least once may initiate an audio or video conversation, and in order to receive push alerts when someone calls, you must have them enabled. Although peer-to-peer calling is the default mode, you can conceal your IP address by using the X infrastructure to route traffic through an enhanced call privacy configuration.
