X Introduces Voice and Video Calls. Elon Musk, the owner of X, has been announcing voice and video calls for a long time, and now they are finally available.

Platform X, formerly known as Twitter, introduces voice and video calls. Some users on the platform, including some at The Verge, received a notification when they opened the app: “Audio and video calls are here!”

There is also a new “Enable voice and video calling” option in the app's settings. With this feature, you can “turn on the feature and then choose who you are happy to use it with.” It includes options to only allow voice and video calls from people in your address book, people you follow, verified users, or all three. You can then make a call by opening a DM with another user, selecting the phone icon in the upper right corner of the screen, and selecting voice or video call.

While the he appeared to mock in a cryptic post. X owner Elon Musk has long hinted that he would add voice and video calls to the platform as part of his goals of making it the "everything app." Musk recently said the feature will be available on iOS, Android, Mac and PC “without a phone number required.”

It's still unclear how widespread X will expand voice and video calls, or whether non-Premium users will be able to use it. Last month, hashtag inventor and open source advocate Chris Messina found that X's code suggested that users must sign up for a Premium subscription to use X. X did not immediately respond to The Verge's request for comment.

Musk has also talked about charging all users an annual fee for access to the platform, and has already started paying $1 per year to users in New Zealand and the Philippines.
