What is Twitter Fleets? in Brief
Twitter Fleets is a new story-like feature of Twitter on which you can share anything, just like an update in the form of a story.
Twitter Fleets stories disappear like Snapchat, Instagram stories, or like butterflies after 24 hours.
And this feature may relive and let people free who like to share their thoughts with knowing that all those will have been deleted in 24 hours and will not stick forever on them.
How Twitter Fleets Works
Twitter Fleets is an exciting way for Twitter to connect. Text, images, videos, and everything else can be uploaded. Above all, it is all temporary and should not lead to unnecessary talks.
- Twitter lets you post up to a max of 280 characters for each fleet.
- Presently, there is no available feature for likes, public retweets, or replies.
- Just like it is on Instagram, you can see who viewed your fleets.
- Fleet owners can see who viewed their Fleets by tapping on "Seen By" at the boom of their Fleets.
- Fleet authors can protect their Fleets as they do protect their tweets.
- The followers and unfollowers (if the owner makes his/her Twitter Fleets public) can view the Twitter Fleets and reply to them by DMs.

Note: Twitter keeps staying on the safe side both for itself and its millions of users. Twitter rules are available for the Twitter Fleets as well.
The company declares;
"... please note that we maintain a copy of all sent Fleets for a limited time after they expire or are deleted to be able to enforce against Fleets that are found to violate our rules. If a Fleet was found in violation, we may extend the time we maintain a copy of it to allow people an opportunity to appeal the violation if they believe it was a mistake."
