Fleets or disappearing tweets worked just like Instagram Stories and WhatsApp Status. Just like IG stories, Fleets disappeared after 24 hours of posting it. To recollect, Fleets was launched around nine months ago. After the release of the feature, Twitter was trolled massively for copying one of Instagram’s most popular features, Stories.
