Twitter has announced that it is testing a new Clubhouse-like feature where Spaces users can view a Space that a person they follow is listening to. Twitter’s Spaces earlier allowed users to only check out the Spaces hosted by the users they follow.
Twitter revealed in a recent tweet that the beta-testing feature is applicable to Android and iOS users:
we’re experimenting with ways to help you discover more Spaces. for some of you on iOS and android, if someone you follow is listening to a Space, you’ll see it at the top of your tl.
you can control who can see your listening activity in your settings.

Spaces users can also choose to opt out from letting their followers know of the Space they’re in. To can turn off the feature, follow these steps:
- Go to “Settings and privacy” section
- Click on “Privacy and safety”
- Toggle off the “allow followers to see which Spaces you’re listening to” option
