(Pocket-lint) - It appears that evidently Twitter is engaged on a brand new function that may enable customers to share tweets with a selected group of buddies, moderately than the entire world.
Basically, it is the very same factor as Instagram's 'Shut Buddies' function, so in the event you're an Instagram person you will probably be acquainted.
Final July, Twitter started teasing the function which on the time was known as 'Trusted Buddies'.
Within the time since we now have discovered that the function is more likely to be known as Twitter Flock.

ℹ️ You possibly can select as much as 150 folks to incorporate in your Twitter Flock

Alessandro's Twitter thread gave us a good suggestion of how the function may work.
It explains that you would be able to add as much as 150 members to your Flock, then solely these customers will be capable to view or reply to tweets that you've chosen to ship to your Flock.
In the event you later resolve to take away somebody from the Flock, you are able to do so at any time and that person is not going to be notified.
Tweets despatched to a Flock are accompanied by a label that reads "You possibly can see this Tweet as a result of the creator has added you to their Flock."
So, distinguishing between common tweets and people only for shut buddies might be very straightforward.
For the time being it isn't clear if or when the function will land with common Twitter customers, however we would think about it will not be too lengthy earlier than Twitter Blue subscribers get to take it for a spin.
