According to IANS report, You can choose up to 150 people to include in your Twitter Circle. Only your circle of friends will be able to see and reply to shared tweets. You can edit your Twitter Circle and people will not be notified if you remove them, according to the new feature.

Twitter has been teasing a feature since last year that would allow users to customise the audience to their tweets, letting them post to only a small subset of their followers, the report further added.

"Similar to an Instagram close friends' story or Google Plus Circles (RIP), Twitter is also calling this product Circle, reports TechCrunch. The micro-blogging platform said it is always working on new ways to help people engage in healthy conversations, and "currently exploring ways to let people Tweet to smaller groups," IANS said.

As per the report,  Twitter is also giving users more control over who sees their tweets and who can engage with their tweets.
