Billionaire Elon Musk has introduced several groundbreaking features for the X app. The feature is currently only available for Android users, but a rollout for Apple iOS devices is expected soon.
Eligible Users
The announcement was made in an X-post by Enrique, an engineer at the Musk-owned platform. In his post, Enrique revealed that Android users can now make both audio and video calls with their followers in the latest version of the X app.
“Audio and video calling on X is slowly rolling out to Android users today! Update your app and call your mother,” Enrique said in the post on X on Friday.
Notably, while the feature is very exciting and very useful, it is only being rolled out exclusively to premium X users. Hopefully the feature will be made available to all users on the platform soon.
To access audio and video calls on X:
To make audio and/or video calls on The options include people in the user's address book, accounts they follow, and verified users.
Eligible users can select multiple options from the above categories.
It is worth noting that this feature will be available exclusively to premium users. To manage their audio and video call preferences, users can navigate to Settings > Privacy & Security > Direct Messages. From there, they can choose who can initiate calls, with options such as people in their address book, those they follow, and verified users. Users also have the flexibility to select multiple options from these categories.
Again, the feature is only available to premium users.
Golden 'tick' available at a never-before-seen price
Earlier this month, X announced a new basic paid tier for verified organizations. Qualifying accounts can now get the premium Gold Check-Mark at an unprecedented price of $200 per month or $2,000 per year.
The gold badge, which comes bundled with additional benefits, is now available at a significantly lower price tag compared to the “full access” membership that costs $1,000 per month.
“Designed for smaller businesses, subscribers receive ad credits and priority support to enable faster growth on X,” the microblogging site said in a post on the platform's official website.
