LOS ANGELES: Insert your own joke here: Twitter next month is killing off Fleets – posts that disappear after 24 hours – citing low user adoption. The move to expire the expiring-tweets feature comes less than a year after Twitter widely launched Fleets last November.

As of Aug 3, Twitter Fleets will no longer be available, the social network announced. The feature mimicked other time-limited formats like Snapchat Stories, as well as Facebook and Instagram’s own copies.
