Twitter has slowed the launch of its new fleet feature, saying you need to “fix some performance and stability issues.” Fleets is Twitter’s attempt to capitalize on the popularity of other social media platforms like Snapchat, Facebook, and Instagram by bringing in their own “stories” that disappear within 24 hours.
“If you don’t have the feature yet, you may not get it for a few more days,” Twitter Support tweeted Wednesday night. “We love that so many people are using Fleets and we want to make sure we are providing the best experience for everyone.”
It comes after Twitter users scoffed at the new feature online after Twitter launched fleets on Tuesday. Introducing Fleets, Twitter said the feature would help people feel more comfortable participating in public conversations.

“Those new to Twitter found that Fleet was an easier way to share what they think.” the company said Tuesday. “Because they disappear from sight after a day, Fleets helped people feel more comfortable by sharing personal and casual thoughts, opinions and feelings.”
