According to the tweets, users can send an invite to "co-tweet," which the invitee can subsequently accept or decline. Essentially, a user can't just add another person to a tweet without permission. If accepted, the written tweet will apparently show on both users' timelines.

Twitter reached out to Mashable and said that the feature would be available for a limited time for "select accounts in the U.S., Canada and Korea". In a blog post by the company, Twitter explained that only two authors can write a tweet together.

The social media app also said that the temporary test is taking place in order to gauge "how and why people and brands might use a feature like this".
