X enables users who do not have a Premium subscription to initiate voice and video calls. Previously, users of the free service could only receive calls from others.
Software engineer from X Let us know on social media The ability to make voice and video calls in the app is being “slowly rolled out” to users without a Premium subscription.
Users can now also allow anyone to contact them in their X profile settings. Previously, the only options were to receive calls only from users they followed, only from users listed in their address book, or only from verified users. The user must have first sent a private message to the account before the latter party can initiate the call. The ability to receive calls via X can also be completely disabled.
In October, X added voice and video calling to the iOS version of the social media platform. I got it in January The Android version also has this function. Users can choose to start a voice or video call in a private chat. To do this, they must tap the phone icon at the top right and then choose between a voice call and a video call. Initially this was only possible for premium subscribers. Free users can already receive calls.
