After eight months since its roll out, Twitter’s ephemeral Fleets feature now bids its goodbye starting August 3.
The company announced this move in a blog post last July 14, stating that they haven’t seen an increase in the number of new people using Fleets.
The said feature was created to help people share their fleeting thoughts, in a lower-pressure way compared to declaring it out loud using Tweets.
The company also shared that they hoped Fleets would help people be more comfortable in joining conversations on Twitter, but those who are using Fleets were already Tweeting.
Meanwhile, people will still see icons of accounts holding live Spaces at the top of the timeline, where Fleets were originally placed.
Despite the lukewarm turnout, Twitter promised to continue evolving and learning to serve the publication.
