The fleets feature on Twitter allowed you to post images and videos into an Instagram story-like space. This feature was underrated, and some Twitter users paid tribute to it, but others seemed indifferent. Here are some things you need to know. Hopefully, this will help you make the best use of your fleets. If you&#8217;re curious about fleets, you&#8217;re not alone.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fleets_will_disappear_after_24_hours\"><\/span>Fleets will disappear after 24 hours<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Fleets are temporary Twitter posts. Users can add text, photos, or videos to fleets. The tweets themselves aren&#8217;t liked, and fleets aren&#8217;t searchable. People can&#8217;t reply to fleets through the main feed, so they can&#8217;t be shared with others. But, fleets are great for expressing a variety of thoughts at once. The feature is being tested globally, and might not roll out until the next week or two.<\/p>\n<p>Fleets were introduced in March 2020 as a way to help new users get used to posting. They remove the pressure of posting permanent messages in the feed, and users can reply via reactions and DMs. Fleets don&#8217;t show up on your main Twitter feed, but you can access them by tapping your avatar. You can also include a GIF, photo, or video in your fleet. It&#8217;s important to note that fleets will disappear after 24 hours, and you can&#8217;t re-post them.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Users_cant_set_future_expiration_dates_for_their_tweets\"><\/span>Users can&#8217;t set future expiration dates for their tweets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Mark Cuban co-founded Xpire, a company that enables users to set future expiration dates for their social media posts. In addition to his work as CEO of Xpire, Allen has become an excellent recruiting tool for the Buffalo Bills. Allen was drafted by the Bills as the seventh overall pick in this year&#8217;s draft. Using the Allen case, Cuban hopes to get Allen signed to the team.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Users_cant_retweet\"><\/span>Users can&#8217;t retweet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A fleet is a type of tweet that only exists for 24 hours. Unlike regular tweets, fleets do not allow users to retweet them. However, users can retweet a fleet in another account. This means that if another user retweets your fleet, it will appear on their feed for an extended amount of time.<\/p>\n<p>Twitter wants to experiment with Fleets to see if they&#8217;ll promote more thoughtful conversations. Just like Instagram stories, fleets cannot be shared or retweeted. Instead, users can only reply to a Fleet via direct message. A survey of beta testers of the new feature revealed that most people were comfortable publishing personal thoughts and opinions, knowing that the content would disappear eventually.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Users_cant_customise_their_fleets\"><\/span>Users can&#8217;t customise their fleets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Since August 3 Twitter has removed the ability to customise fleets on user profiles. However, the social network has been exploring ways to improve user engagement, and has recently integrated fleet functionality into regular tweets. Users can now also include GIFs and photos in their tweets, and add custom backgrounds and emojis to make their Twitter feeds more personal. Regardless of whether you use fleets on Twitter or not, here are some things to keep in mind before customising yours.<\/p>\n<p>For those wondering how to customise a fleet, Twitter has a fix for this problem. While the app does not yet include a turn-off button, users can disable Fleet replies and choose to have replies appear in their timelines instead of the DMs. If you want to customise your Twitter fleets, you should disable Wi-Fi and Mobile Data on your phone, then visit the Fleets page and tap on the option to turn it off.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Spaces_is_Twitters_rip-off_competitor\"><\/span>Spaces is Twitter&#8217;s rip-off competitor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Since its launch, Twitter has aggressively expanded Spaces. It began testing the new app in October 2020 and then rolled out the feature to a wider audience in the spring. The development of Spaces was a top priority for the company, and by May the app was accessible to more than a million users. But how will the new feature affect Twitter&#8217;s business? Here&#8217;s a look at some potential uses for Spaces.<\/p>\n<p>As a rip-off competitor to Facebook&#8217;s Clubhouse, Spaces will take over the top bar. It&#8217;s unclear if Spaces will continue to be an extension of the Timeline, but it will appear when someone you follow is live in Spaces. The app will include Fleets tools like topics and hashtags, as well as a preview of the topic in question. Users will also be able to scroll through Timeline while Spaces are open.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"283\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Fb2-xQ2nNMY\" width=\"506\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Are Fleets Leaving Twitter?
