Twitter is removing its disappearing posts feature – Fleets – after less than a year on the platform because of low usage.

Introduced last November, Fleets were designed to offer a Twitter-based alternative to the popular Stories feature on rival apps such as Instagram and Snapchat, where users can post content that vanishes after 24 hours.
