Twitter Circle, a feature that lets you limit your tweets to a smaller audience, is
now available to everyone. The platform first
started testing the feature among “select people” in May ahead of a wider rollout.
Twitter Circle is a lot like
Instagram’s “close friends” feature, which lets you share your posts with a smaller group of people. On Twitter, you can add up to 150 people to your Circle, whether they follow you or not. When you want to send out a tweet that you might not want the entire Twitterverse to see, you can choose to share it with your Circle instead.
You’ll see the option to share to your Circle when you open the tweet composer. Choose the dropdown menu at the top of the composer, and then hit
Circle. You can choose who you want in your Circle by hitting the
Edit button that appears next to the option. Users won’t receive a notification when you add or remove them from your Circle. But those included in your Circle will see a highlighted badge that reads, “Only people in @[username]’s Twitter Circle can see this tweet” beneath posts sent to your Circle.
