Don’t want to share your tweets with everyone? Twitter Circle will help pick your audience

Social media giant Twitter will soon be rolling out its new feature similar to ‘Close Friends’ on Instagram. The new feature will let users create an exclusive list of up to 150 people who will be able to see their tweets. According to Twitter, the feature is in the primary stages of development with access limited to only a few users.

Twitter Safety, one of the official handles maintained by the site, revealed in a tweet that the company has been testing the feature for some time. According to the tweet, users will be able to share tweets with a relatively small number of people once the feature is active.

"Some Tweets are for everyone & others are just for people you’ve picked. We’re now testing Twitter Circle, which lets you add up to 150 people who can see your Tweets when you want to share with a smaller crowd. Some of you can create your own Twitter Circle beginning today!” read the tweet.

The new feature, Twitter Circle, is essentially similar to Instagram’s Close Friends feature which allows one to select a set of users who will have access to their personal stories. The company said that the feature is now available for select users.

According to Twitter, users with the feature will be able to create a Twitter Circle with up to 150 users. They can share their thoughts in the circle and only those added to the group will be able to view and reply. Further, Twitter said that users can edit the group anytime they want to and users who have been removed from the group will not be notified.
