Reports revealed that Twitter is working on a new feature that allows tweets to be shared with a certain group of individuals, which they call the “herd.”
Twitter first gave a glimpse of the feature last July, which is called “Trusted Friends” at the time, but it has taken shape since then.
And the developer of smartphones, Alessandro Palozzi, published leaks of the “swarm” feature, which shows that up to 150 members can be added to view private tweets and that these selected users can reply and interact with them.
#Twitter continues to work on Twitter Flock by adding an explanation of how it works 👀

If the user wishes to remove one of these individuals from his flock, he will not receive a notification that he has been removed.
“Twitter is always working on new ways to help people engage in healthy conversations, and we’re currently exploring ways to allow people to participate more privately,” Twitter spokeswoman Tatiana Brett told The Verge.
It is noteworthy that, last September, Twitter launched a feature similar to the upcoming “herd” feature, but it allows sending tweets to users with common interests instead of all followers.
