Elon Musk wants to change clocks these functions came to Android.

If you were missing the necessary applications to make voice or video calls on your Android phone, there is now another one: Elon Musk started to apply it on devices with Google operating system. As long as they use payment X.

How do calls and video calls work on X/Twitter?

Although Elon hasn’t posted an X to confirm this, the person who commented a few hours ago was a worker. on his old Twitter profile ‘Phasing distribution of calls and video calls on Android devices’update your app and call your momWe have told you before that the ‘ message can be animated as well as far from reality.

Because although its function is not very mysterious, as long as you update your phone, you will be able to make voice and video calls from the message area on the platform. Especially what you see in the relevant section of your message settings.

But there’s a big problem: It’s a paid feature. If you want to call, that is. You must have a Premium subscriptionThis means you pay at least 8 Euros per month (16 Euros if you are a Premium+ member). In case of annual payment, prices drop to 84 and 168 euros respectively. The good thing is that anyone can get these calls, whether they pay or not: only the person making them has to pay.

There’s a point where the ability to call someone via Twitter/X can be useful if you want to exchange a few words live (not via voice messages) and contact information isn’t available or you’re not interested in providing it. But given Elon Musk’s social network’s serious problems with spam, this is also become a gateway for inappropriate usesuch as fraud attempts. After all, if someone wants to talk to you and it’s an emergency, it’s rare that they don’t have another way to contact you.

This is possible in the message settings and It is recommended to configure who calls you.: Yes, leave it available to anyone with a Premium subscription, only those you follow or have in your phone’s contact list.

remains to be seen The success of these new functions they are now available for major mobile operating systems. And although it’s been available for iOS since October, judging by the posts, it hasn’t generated much excitement among those who’ve been keeping the option active for months.
