Social Media platform — Twitter will be shutting down the Fleets feature from 3rd August, due to low usage.
Twitter widely launched the Stories-like feature last year in November. Fleets last on the platform for 24 hours and are deleted automatically.
Twitter said “since we introduced Fleets to everyone, we haven’t seen an increase in the number of new people joining the conversation with Fleets like we hoped. Because of this, on August 3, Fleets will no longer be available on Twitter”.
Users will only see the Spaces at the top of their feeds. The company said it is exploring ways to expand on its platform by learning from the launch of Fleets, including testing ways to incorporate media options that were available through fleets such as the full-screen camera, text formatting, and GIF stickers.
we’re removing Fleets on August 3, working on some new stuff
we’re sorry or you’re welcome
