Twitter began testing new conversation settings that enable people to determine who can reply to their tweets: everyone, only people they follow or only people they mention in that tweet.
The social network said a limited group of people will be involved in the test, across Android, iOS and the web.
Tweets set for replies by only followers or only people mentioned will be labeled as such, with the reply icon grayed out to alert people that they are not permitted to reply.
The social network first detailed this test at CES in January with a fourth option of not allowing replies at all.
