DUBAI, Broadcasting News Corporation : Twitter is now making Twitter Circle available to all users around the world on iOS and Android devices as well as desktops. The new feature allows users to create a circle of up to 150 people and choose who can see and engage with their tweets. Before posting a tweet, people will see the option to share it with their circle or their full followers list. Tweets sent to a circle will appear with a green badge underneath them. These tweets can only be seen by those selected in one’s circle and cannot be retweeted or shared. All replies to circle tweets are private, even if the user’s account is public. The beta version of Twitter Circle was tested among a select group of people in May. The test revealed that the feature helped people feel more comfortable tweeting and expressing themselves and eliminated the need for secondary accounts.
The test also found that there was an increase in overall tweeting both within and outside of circles, and an increased engagement rate on circle tweets. The platform plans to continue to observe how Twitter Circle is working and explore ways to improve it, according to a company statement. “Twitter wants to ensure everyone on Twitter has the choice, control, tools, and transparency to join the conversation with one another how and when they want; Twitter Circle is another step in that direction,” the company said in the statement.
