Twitter's announcement of the introduction of the "Circle" feature - which allows you to select specific people to view tweets - sparked wide interactions across platforms, as the "Twitter Circle" hashtag issued global platforms, and the tweeters discussed the usefulness and importance of the new feature.

The feature allows all its users to select a group of people to read tweets for them, such as the feature available on Instagram "Close Friends".

And Twitter announced through its account on the platform yesterday, Tuesday, that the “Circle” feature became available to everyone after months of testing it in a limited way.

"Introducing Twitter Circle to everyone, because sometimes your tweets aren't right for everyone, add up to 150 people and use them," the platform wrote in a tweet.

The feature depends on adding a number of people up to 150 individuals within the circle, directing the tweets so that they appear only for this number, and you can choose any tweet you want to share with your own circle or with everyone.

The feature aroused the interest of platform users, as many have been waiting for the feature to reach their accounts to try it since Twitter announced its experience several months ago.

There are mixed opinions about Circle.

Tweeters commented that the new feature will allow more freedom to express opinions that cannot be expressed in front of all followers, but the choice of people within the circle will allow this.

Followers considered that the feature will help form groups that share the same interests, which can enrich discussions or allow for deeper and better communication.

On the other hand, the feature was subjected to great criticism, as some considered it to turn the platform into isolated groups, which opposes the idea of ​​social communication in the first place.

Writer Ahmed Farhat commented in his tweet, "The idea of ​​the circle strikes the idea of ​​​​communication sites from its foundation. People staying on isolated islands on an open site is not a sound idea, and if a group wants to talk alone, they can use a WhatsApp group or via Twitter messages, so the topic is strange and I will not think of using it ".

The idea of ​​these circles strikes the idea of ​​social networking sites at its foundation, that people remain isolated islands on an open site, an idea that is not sound, and that is why if a group wants to speak on their own, they create a WhatsApp or DM group, as the topic is relatively strange and I would not think to use it.

Bloggers said that the feature does not provide any addition, and will not represent any importance to users, as Twitter allows the feature of closed accounts that provide the same service.

"Twitter Circle," writer Kristen Schachinger tweeted, "another attempt to copy Facebook (Facebook has been making friends who have been set for a long time), which removes Twitter's unique feature."

"Sometimes your tweets aren't for everyone"


OMG the whole POINT of #Twitter is they are for everyone.#TwitterCircle another attempt to copy Facebook while killing their unique selling proposition.

Don't worry Musk does not need to kill @Twitter


They will do it to themselves.

Tweeters denounced considering that the new feature will provide more privacy, as this matter cannot be provided as long as the content is available on the Internet, and tweets can be leaked from within circles with ease.

Twitter seeks to add a lot of new features and features to its platform every period.
