X offers built-in audio and video calling features, allowing you to connect with other users directly within the app. This provides an alternative to traditional phone calls or separate video conferencing apps.
Key Features:
- One-on-one calls: Initiate audio or video calls with any X user you’ve previously connected with in Direct Messages.
- Customizable settings: Control who can call you by choosing options like “People you follow” or “People in your address book”.
- Seamless integration: Make calls directly from your X interface, eliminating the need to switch between apps.
Availability: Audio and video calls are available for all X users on both iOS and Android devices.
Steps to Disable Incoming Audio and Video Calls on X
X’s audio and video calling feature can be convenient, but if you’d prefer not to receive calls through the app, it’s easy to turn them off. Here’s how:
Instructions
- Open your X app and navigate to your Direct Messages.
- Tap the gear icon in the top-right corner to access your message settings.
- Locate the “Enable audio and video calling” toggle and switch it off. This will completely disable incoming audio and video calls.
Optional: Restrict Calls
If you want to keep calling enabled but limit who can contact you:
- Keep the “Enable audio and video calling” toggle switched on.
- Uncheck the “People you follow” option.
- Check the “People in your address book” option.
This will ensure only people whose contact information you have saved can reach you through X’s calling features.
Key Points:
- Disabling audio and video calling is simple and reversible.
- You can customize who’s allowed to call you for extra control over your privacy.
And that’s all there is to disabling audio and video calls on your Twitter(X) account.
