Twitter launched its Fleets – ephemeral messages – on Nov 17, long after Snapchat and Instagram. — AFP
When Twitter launched "Fleets", the social network didn't expect to hit a snag like this. The microblogging network launched its disappearing stories, inspired by Instagram and Snapchat, less than a week ago, but it seems that Fleets' URLs remain accessible after the 24-hour limit.
According to information revealed by TechCrunch, followed by The Verge on Nov 22, these messages, which are supposed to be ephemeral, remain somehow visible. A user even showed that these stories can be downloaded by other users without triggering a notification to the fleet's author.
