Twitter Circle has become available to all Twitter users for the first time. It is the social media platform's tool that allows users to tweet to smaller groups of people.
The feature has been in testing among select users since May, but Twitter has now rolled it out to everyone on both its Android and iOS apps and via web browsers. Circle enables users to build a group of up to 150 followers to become part of their Circle, with users then able to choose on a tweet-by-tweet basis whether to post something publicly or just to their Circle.
The social media platform said the response from testing so far had been "overwhelmingly positive". "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," Twitter said in a blog post.
