Some X users are reporting that audio and video calling have been added. Twilight posted a screenshot of a calling feature that suddenly appeared on X, and this screen reads, ``Audio/video calling is here!'' and ``Please set or change who can call you. Now. Don't have time? Don't worry, you can set up your message later.'




Overseas media outlet The Verge has independently obtained screenshots from users who have seen the call feature appear on X, and a new option to ``enable audio and video calls'' has appeared on the X app's settings screen. that's right. If you enable this option, you will be able to select who you can call. Specifically, there are three types: 'Users registered in your address book,' 'Users you follow,' and 'Authenticated users.' , there is also an option to be able to call all three.



In addition, it seems that you can make a call by opening the DM of the person you want to call, tapping the receiver icon at the top right of the screen, and selecting voice call or video call. You can check out how to actually use the call function in the post below.




Although X has not officially announced the launch of the calling feature, it made a cryptic post on October 26, 2023 saying, 'Are you ready...?'




Since acquiring Twitter, Musk has always said that he would make X an all-in-one app . As part of this, we have long stated that we plan to add a calling function to X, and we have talked about the outlook for this function, saying, ``This function will be available on iOS, Android, Mac, and PC without the need for a phone number.''

In addition, Mr. Mask reposted a post saying, ``A calling function has appeared on X!'' and posted on his own account, ``This is an early version of X's video/audio calling.''




It is unclear how widely X is deploying the call function, and it is unclear whether it is a feature that will be available to users other than the subscription service X Premium . However, Chris Messina, the inventor of the hashtag and an advocate of open source, commented that the code contained a statement that suggested that X Premium would be required to use the calling feature on X.
