Social networks have been copying each other for quite some time now, although Instagram usually does this rather shamelessly. With that in mind, the truth is that it’s strange when other social networks decide to take inspiration from Instagram to integrate new features.

Today it became known that Twitter once and for all launched its version of Instagram’s best friends. If you know this, we will explain it to you briefly and simply. When uploading stories to Instagram, they are public and all your followers can see them without any restrictions..

Instagram Best Friends is a feature that allows you to create a small group to upload stories that only a few people have access to, making the content more intimate and personal. And the fact is, even though networks are built to share, sometimes a certain amount of shared proximity is required..

This feature inspired Twitter to launch its own version, dubbed “Circles” in English. which, in truth, has a translation that leaves much to be desired in Spanish, being “Circulo”. What this feature does is that users can post tweets to a select group of people, which is usually quite small.

This group of people is selected by each user, making them solely responsible for the volume of their posts, as this feature is designed to only exchange thoughts with a small group of people they trust. Prevent other subscribers from accessing these messages.

This feature has been released and is now available on Twitter, though it may not yet arrive on your mobile device, on both iOS and Android. In this case, you should check if you have any pending updates and, if so, visit the app store corresponding to the operating system in order to be able to update it.

Twitter allows a maximum number of people in these new circles, which is 150. and that’s more than the amount of people Instagram allows with their best friends. The figure is quite high, but it is clear that it will be useful in profiles with thousands or millions of followers on the little blue bird’s social network.
