X, formerly known as Twitter, has introduced audio and video features on iOS devices.
Elon Musk, the platform owner, posted about the new update on X, sharing details to activate call service.
“Early version of video and audio calling on X”. Musk said. X teased users with a cryptic post saying, “ready for it” before the new feature started appearing.
The new feature allows audio and video calls from people in your address book, people you follow, verified users, or all of the three options. X CEO Linda Yaccarino confirmed last month that video calls would arrive on the platform as part of its transition into an “everything app”.

The X CEO said that soon, “you’ll be able to make video chat calls without having to give your phone number to anyone on the platform”.
According to The Verge, several X users have been getting notifications — “Audio and video calls are here!” — when they open the microblogging app.
