Twitter's answer to the popularity of Facebook and Instagram "Stories" - tweets that disappear on their own after 24 hours - seems to be as short-lived as the "fleets" themselves.

Introduced worldwide in November 2020, the fleets will be discontinued from August 3 after they did not encourage users to tweet more, as Twitter had hoped.
