Twitter launches test feature ‘fleets’ in India for tweets that disappear

Twitter on Tuesday launched a new test feature called ‘Fleets in India’, on the lines of ‘stories’ on Instagram or Facebook, to allow users post messages that would disappear after 24 hours.

Fleets do not have features, such as likes, retweets, or public replies. India is the third test market for this feature, after Brazil and Italy.

“India is important for Twitter since it is one of our largest and fastest-growing audience markets. We are excited to bring the fleets experiment to India and make it one of the first three countries to experience this new product. From testing in India, we’ll learn how adding a new mode of conversation changes the way Indians engage on Twitter.
