When a person you follow speaks in a Space, Twitter will flash a purple bubble at the top of the timeline. The bubble will be displayed as long as the person is live. When a user joins Space as a listener, the user is allowed to react to the audio he/she hear. Twitter started testing Spaces with iOS users in 2020. It expanded the testing by involving Android users. Spaces was finally made available to the public in April to let users host moderated audio chats. Twitter also provides additional safety controls with Spaces to both hosts and speakers.
