We’ll have to go back to May of last year to find the first reports of audio and video calls being routed to Twitter, now known as X. In fact, it’s one of the features Elon Musk has been pushing the most since he acquired the social media network. . Well, after months of waiting, they are now available.
The launch of audio and video calling on Twitter is part of Elon Musk’s strategy to make X a universal app. That is, from which users can use already known social functions, in addition to communication and payment offers. The latter, however, has not yet seen the light of day.
It’s important to note that Twitter audio and video calls are currently only available on the iOS mobile app. In fact, you need to download the latest update available on the App Store.
Certainly, Twitter audio and video calls integrated into direct messages. Essentially, this section already works as if it were WhatsApp in its most basic state.
Now, since few or no one have asked for this feature, it is likely that you will be annoyed by activating it. Especially if you are one of those whose posts are open to the public.
If so, don’t worry, Elon Musk and his people offer us option to disable them. To do this, simply follow these steps:
- Click on your profile picture in the top left corner.
- IN Setup and supportpress Settings and privacy.
- Sign in Privacy and Security.
- Join Direct messages.
- Find the audio/video call switch and turn it off.
Done, with this configuration you will prevent other Twitter users from starting audio or video calls.
If, on the other hand, you want to leave this feature enabled but limiting who can call youin the same settings menu you can select:
- People from your contact list.
- People you follow.
- Verified users.
Will audio and video calls succeed on Twitter? It’s too early to talk about this. As noted earlier, This is a new product in which users have shown very little interest.. X is undergoing a transformation that will introduce features that will make it a more complex application, whether you like it or not…
