Twitter is testing many new Instagram-like features

JAKARTA – Twitter is experimenting with several features that give users more control over their tweets. The functionality is claimed to be similar to the special functionality of Instagram Stories, Close Friends.

According to a TechCrunch report cited by Slashgear on Monday, July 5, Twitter is testing the “Trusted Friends” feature that allows users to choose who can see their tweets. As can only be seen by closest relatives or chosen people.

The way this feature works is that Twitter users can choose who will be able to see their tweets in the “Compose a tweet” window. Located to the right of the avatar and above the caption “What’s going on? “, Users will see a drop-down menu that says” Everyone “.

Then click to bring up the “Trusted Friends” window, where users can sort and choose which followers can see their tweets. Once uploaded, the exclusive tweet will be marked with a green “Trusted Friends” label that appears just above the post.

This is because Twitter does offer some control over the privacy of users’ tweets, but this time the feature could allow users to only show those tweets to selected subscribers.

Another feature the social network is testing is response language prompts, which is basically a system that filters out the types of language or words that users don’t want to see. Again, this functionality is similar to the Instagram comments filter.

There’s also the Facets feature, which can help separate business tweets from personal tweets, at least for those who only want to follow certain aspects of someone’s Twitter feed. However, Twitter is not promising that any of them will become real features in the future, as this time the smell is just a concept.
