Twitter ditching ‘Fleets’ feature, says few people used it
NY Post
Twitter is getting rid of its disappearing posts feature called Fleets because not enough people used it, the company said Wednesday.
Similar to Snapchat and Instagram’s “story” features, Fleets allow users to create posts that appeared in a bar at the top of the Twitter timeline and were automatically deleted after 24 hours. The feature, which was first introduced in November 2020, will be unavailable starting on Aug. 3, Twitter said.
