Back in March of last year, rumors began about the launch of Fleets on Twitter, a function very similar to Instagram stories that would allow content to be uploaded to be deleted within 24 hours, including from photos and videos to tweets. Finally, this service ended up seeing the light some time later, and since then some users have taken the opportunity to share their content using this volatility-focused tool.
However, the truth is that not so many people finally used this type of function for various reasons. Perhaps the fact that the Facebook ecosystem uses this system in full does not feel too good, as it happens with other applications like Snapchat. Taking the statistics into account, the truth is that from Twitter it seems that they have finally decided to close the Fleets, the stories of the social network.
The Fleets Officially Say Goodbye to Twitter
As we have been able to know thanks to the information of 9to5Mac, it seems that Fleets were not widely used by users. And, after all, maintaining such a function requires a large technical team to launch updates, fix bugs and other types of functions.
Taking this into account, and that they have been adapting the functions to those of Instagram, as well as the little success of the Fleets, it seems that they have finally decided to disappear. Right now, It seems that there are difficulties to add new content in this function, and that little by little it will disappear from the various devices.
After all, this is a feature that not too many people will miss in the app, taking into account that Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp or Snapchat are already capable of replacing it. In addition, few were really those who made use of this function, so the reasons for its elimination are more than evident.
