X, which many remember as Twitter, has added a new feature: audio and video calls. This wasn’t a complete surprise. Linda Yaccarino, the CEO, mentioned this change in August. The goal seems clear: under Elon Musk, X wants to offer more and more features in one app.
This feature might need some tweaking before it becomes perfect to use
When you open the app now, you might see a message saying “Audio and Video calls are here!” For those who like to call directly, this could be good news. But there’s a detail that’s causing concern. The call feature is turned on by default. If you don’t want people from X calling you, you have to go to the settings in your Direct Messages and turn it off. There’s a small gear symbol that shows you where to do this. You can also choose who can call you: maybe only verified accounts or just your followers.
However, X has had some problems in the past, especially with keeping things peaceful for everyone. This makes people worry about the new call feature being on by default. If you don’t know about this feature and suddenly get a call from someone you don’t want to talk to, that’s not a good feeling.
X’s new feature might be trying to offer more to its users. But the way it’s been added might not be the best choice. It’s important that features make things easier for users, not harder or confusing. Only time will tell how this turns out for the users, but considering X’s track record, users will always be skeptical of the update at first. What do you think? Does it seem like an update you would be interested in? Share with us in the comments below.
