X to shut Circles feature
X is shutting down Circles, a feature that allows users to share posts with a limited group of people instead of all of the followers. The company plans to disable the feature on October 31.
“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,” X wrote in a post on its help center. “You will, however, be able to remove people from your Circle."
X, formerly Twitter, launched the feature in August 2022 when Elon Musk hadn't officially become the owner of the company. However, since April many users reported seeing many of their posts intended for Cirlces, appearing on the For You timeline.
Confirmed someone I'm not even following was able to see a private Twitter Circle tweet (thank you @TheSahilDev)

This hurts trust in the platform a lot. Should be top priority @TwitterEng pic.twitter.com/BCYPkikJ2p
While X didn't provide a reason why it was shutting down the feature, the company seems to be moving forward with its Communities feature, similar to Facebook Groups.
