Currently, the conversation participants menu is under testing. Their intention is to make it available to all accounts on the platform. This is for all users whether they belong to individual users or businesses.

“the social network will experiment with the new feature during the first quarter, with the aim of refining it and preparing it for a global rollout later this year” added Twitter director of product management Suzanne Xie.

“We thought, well. what if we could actually put more control into the author’s hands. What if we give them really a way to control the conversation space as they’re actually composing a tweet?. Right now, public conversation on Twitter is when you tweet something that everyone in the world will see and everyone can reply, or you can have a very private conversation in a direct message. So, there’s an entire spectrum of conversations that we don’t see on Twitter yet,” Added Xie.

Lately, Twitter  has been attempting to be more open in the way it does things. Considering privacy and data protection which is incredibly important for the industry. The company is focusing on building trust and privacy into each of its product features.
