Twitter Wheel: new feature allows posting of exclusive tweets

the purchase of Twitter by Elon Musk promises many changes in freedom of expression within the social network, but before that, we had the launch of Twitter wheel. In short, this is the functionality that allows you to make special posts for a portion of people and only selected profiles will be able to see and respond to exclusive tweets.

Does that remind you of some function of a social photo network? Well, know that the concept is the same as the Best friends do Instagram: after creating a list with selected profiles, just change the visibility of the new post before sending it to the social network servers and that's it, the tweet will only be seen by the profiles included in your Twitter wheel.

The difference between the features of each social network is that the Best friends do Instagram has no user limit, while Twitter wheel is limited to 150 followers. The news was announced today by the profile of Twitter Insurance.

Who can use the Twitter Wheel?

For now, the novelty that allows the sending of exclusive tweets is being tested with a small portion of users to then be released to everyone.

It is important to remember that this is a very normal technique in the technology industry and many companies and social networks first test new features with a small portion of users (or their own wheel) and then, after correcting possible problems, the definitive release takes place. O Twitter has not yet announced when the novelty will be available to other users.

Much is said about the changes that Elon Musk can bring to Twitter now that he owns the social network, but the Twitter Wheel was already being tested before the owner of Tesla e SpaceX show interest in making the acquisition.

the insider Nima owji, famous for discovering news from the social network, had already announced that the feature would be released at some point. See his post from April 25:

There are many people who use private accounts as a way to tweet anonymously, is the Roda a resource that can make these accounts finally public, but have exclusive tweets?
