Brussels, Europe Brief News –At the beginning of this month, Twitter began testing Circle with a select set of users, and it seems that the service is now beginning to roll out to a wider audience (via Android Police). The tool’s functionality is quite similar to that of Instagram’s Close Friends in that it enables users to send tweets just to a certain set of individuals rather than to the whole of Twitter. Let’s review what the Twitter circle has to offer!
Twitter’s Newest Edition – The Twitter Circle
At this time, it is not possible to determine how many individuals presently have access to Circle. More people, including myself, are now seeing the function crop up when they start crafting a tweet; however, other users still say that they do not yet have access to the tool. A spokesman for Twitter named Joseph Nunez told The Verge that they are currently testing it.

“We are still presently testing Twitter Circle with a group of individuals across iOS, Android, and Web internationally,” added Nunez. “We are also testing Twitter Circle with a group of people in the United States.” Because we are still collecting user input, the new function has not yet been made available to a large portion of the population.
Upgrade Your Twitter!
You may upgrade your Twitter app or log in to Twitter using a web browser to see whether you have access to the Twitter Circle feature. When you first begin to compose a tweet, a dropdown menu says Everyone will appear at the very top of the screen. If you want to restrict your tweet to a certain audience, you may pick Twitter Circle from this menu. Alternatively, click Edit to add or delete individuals from your Circle. If you add or delete people from your Twitter list, Twitter will not inform those individuals.

Add Up to 150 People to your Circle
You can add up to 150 persons to your Circle, regardless of whether or not they follow you. Tweets that are restricted to just users in your Circle will have a message added to them that reads, “Only those in @[yourusernameTwitter ]’s Circle may view this tweet.” This note will also be visible to users outside of your Circle. To a certain extent, tweeting to your Circle is analogous to having a private account; however, rather than restricting access to your whole profile, it just makes select tweets private.
The Takeaway!
Even though the members of your Circle won’t be able to retweet anything you post to your Twitter circle, they will still be able to take screenshots of and save your tweets. Even if you are tweeting to a more limited audience, you must remember that Twitter’s community rules are still in effect, and you should adhere to them.
