"Protect Your Privacy: How to Disable Calls and Hide Your IP Address on X"

Elon Musk's social media platform X has introduced audio and video calling capabilities for all users, potentially exposing their IP addresses. To limit calls and hide your IP address, users can adjust their settings on the mobile app by enabling "Enhanced call privacy" and restricting calls to contacts only, or by disabling audio and video calls entirely. These options are currently only available on the mobile app, with no apparent option to disable the feature on the web version of X.

"Maximizing Privacy: Essential Twitter Call Settings You Need to Adjust"

X (formerly Twitter) has introduced audio and video calls for all users, with default settings allowing anyone you follow to make calls to you. To avoid unwanted calls, users should adjust their settings by accessing the Twitter app, tapping the envelope icon, clicking the settings cog, and unchecking the "enable audio and video calling" box. Users can also choose who can call them and enable "Enhanced call privacy" to prevent their IP address from being revealed to callers. It's important to note that the calls are only available in the X app for Android and iPhone, and there is no mention of encryption for the calls.
