Fleets are done: Twitter will give up its Instagram Stories analogue

The developers of Twitter, eight months after the release of Fleets, announced the closure of this feature.

What we know

Twitter Fleets is analogous to Instagram Stories. That is, short videos that were displayed at the top of the social network. Due to low demand, the company decided to remove them. Fleets will be disabled for all users on August 3rd. Instead, they will display Spaces audio rooms, which the company borrowed from Clubhouse.

By the way, after the removal of Fleets, Twitter plans to keep some editing tools. For example, the ability to format text, as well as add stickers and GIF animations to images.
