Twitter testing Instagram Stories-like ‘Fleet’ feature for deleting tweets after 24 hours

Twitter is now testing a new feature called “Fleets”, which automatically deletes tweets after 24 hours. The announcement was made today by Kayvon Beykpour, Product Lead of Twitter.Currently, there is no official way to delete old tweets after a certain time, so users who want this feature need to rely on third-party tools. Starting today, Twitter will make “Fleets” available to a limited amount of users, so they can share text, photos, and videos that will be available on their profile for only 24 hours.Beykpour said the idea came after some users shared that they feel intimidated to post certain things because they have no control over the visibility of the content. “Every day, people come to Twitter to see what’s happening. One of the unique things about Twitter is that “what’s happening” is fueled by people sharing their thoughts openly, through Tweets. But sharing your thoughts publicly can be intimidating!”The feature works in a similar way to Instagram Stories since the contents with limited time will be displayed in circles at the top of the app, separately from the timeline. At first, it will only be possible to post such content through the official Twitter app for iOS and Android.Fleets will roll out first for users in Brazil, and then it will be progressively released in other regions.
