X adds video calling — and lets strangers ring you: Turned on by default, tool lets anyone you follow potentially call you up::Turned on by default, tool lets anyone you follow potentially call you up
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Twitter has added video calling – and left it turned on by default.
The feature is now being officially rolled out, Elon Musk confirmed.
Video calls are part of Elon Musk’s plans to make Twitter, which he has renamed X, into the “everything app”, offering a wide array of different functionality.
For now, video calls are limited to the iOS app, and appear to be rolling out slowly.
From the direct message settings, users can either disable it entirely or change it so that they can receive calls from people in your address book, from people you follow, or from all “verified” users.
If the feature is enabled, then a phone icon should show within the direct message conversation, and tapping audio or video will start the relevant kind of call.
