Twitter Is Getting Rid of Disappearing Fleets

 

Twitter said Wednesday that it's getting to pack up fleets, how for users to share texts, photos and video that disappear in 24 hours, because the tool isn't as widely used because the company hoped.

Fleets will not be available starting Aug. 3, Twitter said during a blog post. The move shows that Twitter is moving faraway from ephemeral content that rose in popularity after the arrival of Snapchat, followed by Facebook-owned Instagram introducing Stories in its apps.
