X has expanded audio and video calls to all users, but calls are peer-to-peer by default and can reveal each participant’s IP address; an optional enhanced privacy relay that masks IPs is available but off by default, and there is no clear information on call encryption. Users concerned about privacy are advised to disable calling or tighten settings via the app’s Direct Messages privacy options.
