Twitter users flocked to Fleets last night to post their final good-bye photos and videos, but it looks like it may have been a bit premature because the feature is still there.
Last month, Twitter announced that its fleeting Fleets experiment failed to find its footing, so the feature was being furloughed. The company admitted that it wanted Fleets to inspire more users to join the conversation and tweet more, but the feature was mainly used by those already actively tweeting. So Fleets was given an expiration date so the company could try other things.
Twitter said that it would retire its Snapchat clone on August 3rd — today — so last night, users took to Twitter to post their final Fleets, filled with the thirstiest of traps and fueled by the expectation that the feature would disappear come morning. They were wrong. So wrong. And now, everyone has taken to Twitter to express their confusion and amusement at Fleets’ persistence.
Twitter support posted a tweet stating that Fleets should be gone from iOS and the best Android phones and that the bar above the timeline should now be home to Twitter Spaces, although a cursory glance at the app shows that Fleets is still there as of writing. That said, it should only be a matter of time.
