Twitter launched flits - messages that disappear after 24 hours

Twitter has announced the launch of a new Fleets feature that allows you to post messages, photos, and videos that will disappear 24 hours after posting.

The company blog says that fleets allow users to share “momentary thoughts” and feel more comfortable when communicating with other people.

In the coming days, fleets will appear on all Twitter users.

• Disappearing messages became popular after the mobile social network Snapchat introduced the Stories feature in 2013. In Snapchat Stories, materials are stored for a day and look like slideshows of the author's latest posts. In 2016, the story format appeared on Instagram, then on Facebook and YouTube.
