How to control your new audio and video call privacy settings on X

X said on February 29 it had launched audio and video calls for everyone on the platform, allowing even non-verified, non-paying users to call others without requiring a phone number. Platform owner Elon Musk had earlier promised audio and video calls. In order to make audio or video calls, users can navigate to their Direct Messages tab and then choose the person they wish to call, to see if they are eligible to place the call. However, some X users were concerned by an option that kept an enhanced call privacy setting turned off by default.
