Twitter has introduced Twitter Circle, which is its way of letting you share your tweets but with a small group. This feature is part of the microblogging site’s latest test and has now started rolling out to some users. This comes after Twitter’s attempt at an alternative timeline for “Trusted Friends” last year. Here’s a look at what all this is about.

If you’re wondering where you have heard this before, then this is similar to how you can stories and DMs with your“Close Friends” on Instagram. And similar to how you can choose your close friends on Instagram, you will get the same option for Twitter Circle if you are one of the few people to get access to it.

I was luckily able to use this feature. To see if you are part of the Twitter test list, you can simply tap the “compose tweet” option to get the option for creating a Twitter Circle. Twitter explains that once a Twitter Circle is created, only its members will be able to see and reply to the shared tweets. Plus, you will get an option toedit the Circle by adding or deleting people.

If you get the option and you want to go about it,

You will alsoget to decide if you want to share a tweet with your Circle or with everyone. To reiterate, this test is for limited people and shall reach all users eventually. There are chances it may even get dumped if not well-received by people. So, how do find Twitter Circle? Do you think it is a useful addition? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
