Twitter has announced that it is killing off Fleets next month. This news comes in just nine months after the feature’s global launch. The company says that Fleets was not being used as intended.
Back in March 2020, Twitter began testing ephemeral content in the form of Fleets. This was similar to Instagram and WhatsApp’s Stories and Status features respectively where content posted in these spaces automatically disappears after 24 hours. In June 2020, it launched the feature in India, before globally rolling it out in November of the same year.
