Twitter would allow some iOS and Android users to see what Space their friends are attending. It is a way of finding out what space a user might be interested in.
At the top of their timeline, users would know if someone they follow is listening in on a Space.
The announcement of the experience was made on Spaces Twitter account. However, the platform had added that users could control who could see their listening activity through the settings.
“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.
send us your thoughts!”
Although, this doesn’t still guarantee a users presence on Spaces, it would only not show a notification to the people who follow you on what Spaces you are on.
However, when you attend a Space, the people in the Space room can see you.
