All Users to Enjoy Audio-Video Calling on X: No Need for Mobile Numbers, Service Launched in October 2023
A recent announcement by the company has unveiled that all users on the social media platform X will now be able to engage in audio-video calling. This feature was rolled out by X last October, initially accessible to premium subscribers and IOS users. To enable this feature on X, users will need to navigate to their settings and tap on privacy and safety.
Within this section, an option for direct messaging will appear, where users can enable audio and video calling. Once the feature is enabled, users can choose whether verified users, followers, or people from their Facebook contacts can initiate calls. This enhancement is poised to transform user interactions on X, offering a more dynamic and immersive communication experience.
