Twitter, on Tuesday, November 17, 2020, have officially launched one of the latest features of the platform and they call it Fleets. According to Twitter, this is for everyone to be able to easily join the conversation in a new way, “with their fleeting thoughts.”

“To help people feel more comfortable, we’ve been working on a lower pressure way for people to talk about what’s happening.”

What is Twitter Fleets

So what is Fleets for exactly? Known social media platforms such as Snapchat, Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, and YouTube have their own version of Stories, and Fleets is the version of this feature for the popular platform Twitter.

Stories usually could be in a form of text, photo, video, GIF, or a mixture of the elements mentioned, and it vanishes after 24 hours; and Twitter’s Fleets isn’t so different.

“Fleets are for sharing momentary thoughts – they help start conversations and only stick around for 24 hours,” explained Sam Haveson, the Product Manager of Twitter, and Joshua Harris, the Design Director of Twitter.
