X, formerly known as Twitter, has recently announced the expansion of its voice and video call feature to Android users. This move comes after the initial release of the feature for iOS in October. However, there is a catch – this functionality is currently exclusive to X Premium subscribers for making outgoing calls. Users on the free tier can still receive incoming calls but cannot initiate them.
To access the voice and video call options in the X for Android app, users need to navigate to the DM (Direct Message) settings tab. From there, they can find the audio and video calling options. It is worth noting that X Premium subscribers have the advantage of managing their call preferences through the settings page. This allows them to specify who can initiate calls, including options such as people in their address book, verified users, and accounts they follow.
For Android users who are new to this feature or would like more detailed information, X has provided a Help Center where they can find comprehensive guides and tutorials on audio and video calls. This resource can be accessed to understand the various functionalities and settings available for a seamless calling experience.
With the expansion of voice and video calls to Android users, X aims to enhance the communication experience on its platform. By offering this feature exclusively to X Premium subscribers, the company provides an added incentive for users to upgrade to the premium tier.
