Twitter has announced that it will be shutting down its Circles feature, which allowed users to share posts with a select group of people. The feature was launched in 2022, but it has not been widely used.
The company said in a “PSA” on that Circles will be disabled by October 31.
“X is deprecating Circles as of Oct 31st, 2023. After this date, you will not be able to create new posts that are limited to your Circle, nor will you be able to add people to your Circle. You will, however, be able to remove people from your Circle, by unfollowing them as described below,” it announced.
To remove people from your Circles, log in to your X account. Go to the account that is in your Circles and unfollow them. They will no longer be in your Circle. They can no longer see your past Circle Posts. You can follow them back but they will not be added to your Circle.

Elon Musk, owner of X, recently announced new voice and video call support for X. Musk tweeted, “Video & audio calls coming to X: Works on iOS, Android, Mac & PC, No phone number needed, X is the effective global address book. That set of factors is unique.” Users will no longer have to keep their phone numbers and can place voice and video calls by verifying their usernames.
