Twitter is working on a feature to limit the visibility of tweets. After that, tweets could only be seen by a limited group.
On Facebook and Instagram, you can only share your posts with certain users (or Stories, in the case of Instagram). This means that while you may have a private profile, you can create posts that are only visible to the people you care about, or conversely invisible to certain people. Twitter wanted the same.

Today it looks like Twitter is working on something very similar with its feature codenamed “Flock”. This Flock feature, which will not be the option’s final name, allows users to create groups of up to 150 people in their “flock”, according to Alessandro Paluzzi. This means that when you create a tweet, you can only show it to that specific group.
Back then, tweets could only be seen by a restricted group.
So, just like the giants Facebook and Instagram are doing, it will allow Twitter users to have public profiles but still be able to post more personal content that strangers online won’t be able to see. And with the way the feature is currently implemented, Twitter explains that users can add or remove people from this list as they wish, and when they choose, they won’t be notified. In fact, if you no longer want to share this or that with so-and-so, you can remove it from the list without him or her knowing.
Currently, the only way for Twitter users to prevent other people from viewing their Tweets is to make their account private. The user can then choose who follows him and therefore who sees his tweets. With this “Flock”feature, users will have more flexibility.
