Twitter tests tweets that are removed in 24 hours

Instagram, Facebook or Snapchat have their stories, which are removed after 24 hours completely. A very popular option among users in all of them. Twitter has no plans to introduce stories, but they are also working on a function that could be interesting. Since the social network tests tweets that are deleted after 24 hours.

Twitter tests tweets that are removed in 24 hours

This function would be introduced in the social network with the name Fleets. Also, these tweets could not have Retweets, Like or be answered publicly, so they would be different from normal ones.

We've been listening to this feedback and working to create new capabilities that address some of the anxieties that hold people back from talking on Twitter. Today, in Brazil only, we're starting a test (on Android and iOS) for one of those new capabilities. It's called Fleets. pic.twitter.com/6MLs8irb0c

New feature

Kayvon Beykpour, responsible for the Product division of Twitter, has been the one to explain this new function, which is currently in the testing phase. So it is not yet accessible, only in a limited way. They are intended to share content that would not otherwise be shared by people, not for responses or comments.

Users will be able to attach photos, GIFs or videos on these Fleets. In this way, the aim is to help people share these fleeting thoughts, so that they will be able to talk about these topics, knowing that in 24 hours said content will be completely eliminated.

Without a doubt, it is a function that could be of interest to the social network. For now it has been launched in a limited way in Brazil. It is expected that user impressions will be collected before making changes or expanding its availability. For this reason, we will have to be attentive to the arrival of these Fleets on the social network.
