One of the most anticipated features for Twitter users is finally available worldwide. This is Twitter Circles, a feature that allows users to choose who they want to share their tweets with.
As of today, it can be used both in the web version of the social network and in its applications for iOS and Android. The concept behind Twitter Circles is quite simple, yet useful. Each user can take advantage of this tool to create lists of up to 150 accounts to share specific content with them.
In this way, it is possible to limit the reach of certain posts so that they are not visible to everyone without having to enable protected tweets.
This idea is not new either, since it is very similar to what Instagram offers with its ‘Best friends’ option, which allows you to show Stories only to acquaintances or people you trust.
It’s also worth noting that some users have been able to try Twitter Circle in recent months. In fact, the feature officially launched on the social network in early May, although it was only available to a limited number of accounts at the time. Now everyone can enjoy it.
This is how the Twitter Circle works
If you enter Twitter during these hours, you will surely see a banner inviting the user to create a list of the members of his Circle. The social network will allow you to use the search engine to find and add any person with whom you want to share certain tweets.
An important point to keep in mind is that the list is editable, so members can be added or removed from the list without major inconvenience and the platform does not need to notify them. If using the mobile app, a shortcut will be found in the left sidebar.
When ready to post, you can choose to post publicly or limit your reach to members of your Twitter Circle. Tweets that are only visible to selected accounts will be easily recognizable by having a green badge below them.
Another important point is that responses to these messages will remain private, even if the account is not protected. Additionally, Twitter will prevent Circle members from sharing or retweeting a restricted post.
According to the social network, this new feature aims to give users more freedom and comfort when posting on certain topics. Something that can be very useful for people who want to share their views on certain topics that do not want to have a wide reach.
Without a doubt, an option to thank those who prefer to avoid trolls is always the order of the day on the platform.
But the Twitter Circle also wants the public to see no need to have more than one account on the social network. In this way, you can balance the activity between personal and professional tweets, without having to change profiles. Only time will tell if the social network achieves its goal.
Unmentioning, the button to leave toxic conversations on Twitter
Its use is quite simple. If you want to get out of a distasteful conversation you’re stuck in, you can use the Unmentioning function by following this process:
1. Find the tweet where one is mentioned.
2. Touch the three dots located in the upper right corner of it.
3. Choose Leave this conversation.
4. Done.
