Twitter’s India users poke fun at its newest offering of ‘Fleets’

While some of Twitter’s India users were excited by the new feature, many said there was no need for the story-like option on the platform. Disappointed that the company has failed to recognise the most popular demand — an edit button — users said it’s quite frustrating to be handed something irrelevant.

Some also mocked the company for “copying from Facebook and Snapchat”, and shared memes and GIFs about struggling to find the difference between fleets and similar features in other apps:

Some also complained that the feature wasn’t showing up despite updating the app.

Talking about the new addition in the platform based on user feedback, the company’s product manager said that they are seeing “people become more comfortable about sharing what’s on their minds”.

Arguing the feature is most useful for people who uncomfortable with public tweets, Mo Al Adham said: “People who don’t usually Tweet are starting more conversations and sending both Fleets and Tweets. When people send a Fleet, they often share a number of thoughts rapidly.”
