Elon Musk’s X To Bring Audio And Video Calls For Android Users; Details Inside |
New Delhi: Elon Musk’s project in a recent update of X(formerly twitter) is unveiling a new functionality that enables Android users to initiate audio and video calls directly within the app. This information was shared by Enrique, an engineer at X, who mentioned that Android users can utilize this feature by performing a effortless app update.
Launched in its initial version on iOS in October, the calls feature enables users to connect directly on the platform without the need for phone numbers. X engineer Enrique on Friday announced in a post “Audio and video calls on X slowly rolling out for Android users today! Update your app and call your mother,”
This feature will be limited to premium users. Users can control their preferences for audio and video calls by going to Settings > Privacy and Safety > Direct Messages. Within these settings, users can specify who can start calls, with choices ranging from people in their address book, those they follow, and verified users. Users also have the option to choose multiple preferences from these categories.
X introduced a new entry-level paid subscription for verified organizations earlier this month available at $200 per month or $2,000 per year. This basic tier for verified organizations includes a gold check-mark badge and various extra advantages, providing a more affordable option compared to the “full access” tier which is priced at $1,000 per month.
The company recently clarified that the new subscription tier, tailored for smaller businesses offers subscribers benefits such as advertising credits and priority support. This strategic move is intended to assist smaller organizations in achieving faster growth on the X platform by providing them with a cost-effective yet impactful way to enhance their visibility and engagement.

WhatsApp’s New Feature To Let Users Share Music Audio During Video Call |
New Delhi: Meta-owned WhatsApp is rolling out a new feature that will let users share music audio during a video call on Android.
According to WABetaInfo, the ability to listen to video and music audio together is now available to some beta testers.
“Specifically, when someone in the call shares their screen, audio they play on their device will also be shared with other people in the call. It’s important to note that this feature also works in individual calls, allowing users to enjoy a synchronised audio experience even in one-on-one video conversations,” the report noted.
According to the report, the new feature not only promotes a sense of togetherness in group interactions but also brings an added layer of intimacy to one-on-one conversations.
Moreover, users in a call can also watch videos together, experimenting with shared audio during their video calls, allowing participants to synchronise their video playback experiences, creating a virtual movie-watching or content-sharing session.
The feature will be rolling out to even more people over the coming weeks, the report mentioned.
Meanwhile, WhatsApp is reportedly developing a feature that will allow users to search for others through their username. Users will now be able to search for others by entering their username into the search bar, in a future update of the web client.
