Twitter’s new feature is being tested on select users and will now show them Tweets from users followed by people you follow. This isn’t the same as a Retweet or an advertisement and can seem endorsed by someone you follow when it isn’t, reports The Next Web.

As with most of the new features that Twitter tests, it’s unknown if this one will become a permanent addition to the social media website. If it did, it could be highly controversial as it shoves Tweets on users that they may not have wanted to see, The Next Web notes.

Another new feature that the social media website has been testing out is explaining the meanings of popular hashtags. It also recently added the ability to share GIF-like images.

TWTR shares were up 1% as of Tuesday afternoon.
