X Video and Audio Calling Feature: After months of anticipation, Elon Musk's X (formerly known as Twitter) has introduced video and audio calling features. As of now, these features are exclusively available to X Premium (Twitter Blue) users on iOS, but X has indicated that Android support is on the horizon.

In a statement, X stated, "We're launching a new means of communication on X, Audio and Video Calling. Audio and Video calling is now available on iOS and will soon be available on Android." This expansion into communication features aligns with X's broader goal of becoming a comprehensive platform for various forms of interaction.

For those who use X for free, it's important to note that they can still receive calls. Users have the freedom to choose who can contact them by adjusting their Direct Messaging settings. By default, users can receive calls from accounts they follow or have in their address book. However, there's an additional requirement: to initiate a call, both parties must have exchanged Direct Messages at least once.
