Experimental Twitter’s ‘Flock’ feature will allow you to share tweets with your closest friends

Twitter is still working on a feature that will give you a way to post tweets that only friends you choose can see. In July last year, the social network discovered to consider allowing you to designate “trusted friends” so that some tweets are visible only to them. Now programmer and reverse engineer Alessandro Paluzzi has unearthed evidence that the feature is currently under development and that Twitter now calls it “Flock.”

However, it could be called differently if it gets a wider version – they said from the company The Verge that “Flock” is just the name of a placekeeper. Based on the explanation Paluzzi found, his current iteration will allow you to add up to 150 users to your list, and they will be the only ones who will be able to see and respond to the tweets you send to the group. Every tweet you send to your flock will receive a notification telling your audience they can see it because you added them to the group. However, you can edit the group at any time, and Twitter says it won’t notify anyone you remove.

When the company first revealed that it was considering adding the trusted friends feature, it introduced another concept that would allow you to download different people within the same account. It is unclear whether this version of the feature is more in development. Twitter is also testing a feature called Community that gives you dedicated space for groups of people with the same interests. Flock, however, is designed with your real friends in mind, much like Instagram’s close friends for Stories. In his statement sent The VergeTwitter said it “is always working on new ways to help people engage in healthy conversations, and [it’s] I’m currently researching ways to allow people to share more privately. “
