Posted: Sun Jan 26, 2025 5:33 am
Twitter on Tuesday announced the global launch of “ Fleets ,” the ephemeral tweet feature it first announced earlier this year and has been testing in markets around the world.
Now, any mobile Twitter user, regardless of where they live or what platform they're on, will have access to the disappearing messaging feature, which will sit right at the top of the timeline in a row of Stories- like bubbles .
Twitter hopes the new feature will help reduce the oman email list pressure around tweeting by allowing users to express more casual thoughts and feelings while worrying less about saying something profound or racking up likes and retweets. Fleets is starting to roll out on Android and iOS and should be available to everyone in the coming days, the company says.
“Through our testing in Brazil, Italy, India, and South Korea, we learned that Fleets helped people feel more comfortable participating in the conversation — we saw people with Fleets talking more on Twitter,” design director Joshua Harris and product manager Sam Haveson explain in a blog post . “These new Twitter users found Fleets to be an easier way to share what was on their minds . Because they disappear from view after a day, Fleets helped people feel more comfortable sharing their personal, informal thoughts, opinions, and feelings.”
