Twitter slows rollout of disappearing 'fleets' worldwide

Twitter Inc will slow down the rollout of tweets that disappear after 24 hours, a day after it launched the feature worldwide, in order to fix performance and stability issues, the company's support team said in a tweet on Wednesday.

Twitter on Tuesday launched these ephemeral tweets, dubbed "fleets", after having tested the feature in Brazil, Italy, India, and South Korea.

"If you don't have the feature yet, you may not get it for a few more days," the support team said.
