We’re winding down digital collectibles (NFTs) for now to focus on other ways to support creators, people, and businesses.

Let us know in the comments section below.Some product news: across the company, we're looking closely at what we prioritize to increase our focus. Right now, the Fleets interface is still appearing on Twitter’s mobile app, but users are no longer able to view or post any new content. In a blog post, the team behind Fleets at Twitter confirmed that the number of people using this feature was low, so that’s why it’s being discontinued.

Twitter is now testing a new feature called “Fleets”, which automatically deletes tweets after 24 hours. With a really similar approach, the platform was first launched to a small group of users in Brazil and then expanded to other countries. Twitter’s Fleets platform was announced in March 2020 as a response to the huge success of Instagram Stories (and Snapchat, of course), which lets users post photos and videos that disappear after 24 hours. With only a few hours left until Tuesday, Twitter is now shutting down Fleets for good. Twitter announced last month that the “Fleets” platform, which is basically a copy of Instagram Stories, would be discontinued on August 3.
