There will be a thread button within the Space UI next to the reactions option, clicking on which will lead people to the Space thread that was started as soon as the Space went live. Users can also view the number of chats as part of the thread but can only view the tweets that have been sent as a reply.

This ability is currentlybeing tested for a select few Android and iOS users. Do let us know if you are able to use the functionality. It remains to be seen when and if this feature will be available for all Twitter users.

The dedicated thread button in Spaces comes in addition to arecent Twitter Spaces test, which allowsiOS users to record a 30-sec clip of a Space and share it with othersto listen to the session on their timeline. This is a way for people to get the gist of a Space and join it if they are interested.

Recently, Twitter alsostarted testing Circle, which allows people to share their tweets with only up to 150 people and create a small group on the platform. This is similar to the “Close Friends” feature on Instagram for people to share their stories with a limited set of people.
