Apart from being famous social media platforms, Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, YouTube, and now Twitter all have this “extra thing” in common, namely Stories. These conversation starter messages are different from the actual messages posted on social media accounts and are short in duration; they usually go away on their own within 24 hours. The latest addition to the club is Twitter and their story avatar is called Fleets. Unlike tweets, fleets can be seen by the public, but cannot be publicly retweeted or responded to, and are uncomfortable with tweeting because of their public visibility. However, users can reply to or respond to fleets if they are being followed or their MDs are open to the public. In case someone has protected the Tweets, only their subscribers can see their fleets. However, access to fleets is easy, they are at the top of the home timeline or easily accessible by pressing a user's profile picture.
