Here Is The Easy Money-Making Trick Everyone Is Talking About! Learn More Here!
Twitter just dropped a new feature called Twitter Circle and it lets you tweet to a much smaller crowd.
Normally, a Twitter TWTR, -1.65% user’s tweet gets sent to all of their followers — and public tweets can be seen by the world.
But with the new Twitter Circle feature, posts can now be sent to a “smaller” group of up to 150 people, the company announced on Tuesday.
“Sometimes you just want to talk to your people,” the company wrote in a blog post.
“With Twitter Circle, people now have the flexibility to choose who can see and engage with their content on a Tweet-by-Tweet basis.
“This makes it easier to have more intimate conversations and build closer connections with select followers.”
Here’s how it works: A Twitter user will write a tweet draft just as they normally would, but now they can choose to send the post out to “everyone,” or to a smaller group (aka circle), instead.
“A toggle menu will appear in the top left of the draft tweet, which lets you to edit who will see the post.”
Twitter Circle users will be able to customize their “circle” to up to 150 people.
And Twitter assured that users can edit who’s in and who’s out of a circle at any time, without notifying anyone of any changes made to that group.
“Tweets sent to your circle will appear with a green badge underneath them,” Twitter explained.
“They can only be seen by those you’ve selected to be in your circle and cannot be Retweeted or shared.
Additionally, all replies to these Tweets are private, even if your Twitter account is public.”
Twitter began testing the feature in May, and expanded the feature to all users globally on Aug. 30 after “overwhelmingly positive” feedback, the company said. Twitter Circles are available on iOS, Android and Twitter.com.
The feature is a somewhat similar to the Meta-owned META, -1.28% Instagram’s “close friends” story-posting feature, which also allows sharing a story to a customized, select group of people, as opposed to all of an account’s followers.
The new feature comes amid Twitter’s contentious legal battle with Tesla TSLA, -3.05% CEO Elon Musk.
On Tuesday, Musk sent another letter to Twitter stating that he wants to terminate his merger agreement with the social media giant.
Twitter responded by calling the letter “invalid and wrongful.”
