Twitter ‘slows down’ Fleets rollout over performance issues

The new Fleets feature (Twitter)

Twitter is “slowing down” the rollout of its new disappearing posts feature, known as Fleets, in order to fix performance issues, the company has said.

Fleets – short for fleeting moments and designed to disappear from Twitter after 24 hours – were introduced earlier this week as a new form of communication on the social media platform.
