The fleets of Twitter arrived on the social network several months ago with the aim of being able to compete equally with the stories that we can find on Instagram, YouTube and other social networks, although, some time later, we have seen that the result has not been the one expected by this platform. In fact, it has been possible to verify how it has not met the objective of encouraging users of the social network to make a greater number of publications on its platform.
At the time, Twitter thought that this type of publication with a maximum duration of 24 hours would encourage users of the platform to make a greater number of publications, especially by those people who barely publish in conventional tweets and who could see, in this function, an alternative to be able to publish being aware and without worrying that what they were going to share with other users would last only 24 hours, a period of time after which there would no longer be a trace of the publication in question .
However, eight months after its widespread launch, Twitter decided to say goodbye to a function that was already harshly criticized by users at the time. Many criticized that the nature of this new function altered, in some way, the essence of the platform, so that, over the months, it has been possible to see how it has not been able to meet their expectations.
Although the results were not being as expected by the social network, and not many users made use of this function, now, recently, and by surprise, Twitter communicated the non-continuity of Fleets, a function that will say goodbye definitively on August 3.
We were hoping that Fleets would help more people feel comfortable joining the conversation on Twitter. But, since we introduced the fleets to everyone, we haven't seen an increase in the number of new people joining the conversation with the fleets as we expected. Due to this, on August 3, Fleets will no longer be available on Twitter, Twitter announced, thus communicating its position regarding a function that has passed with more pain than glory and that very few users will miss, not considering that it fits well into the essence of the platform.
According to own learning, fleets have been used basically by those who already publish regularly on the platform in order to amplify their message. From Twitter, however, they assure that they will try to take advantage of the occasion to launch some news to the conventional user of Twitter.
Soon, we will test tweet editor and camera updates to incorporate Fleets composer features such as full screen camera, text formatting options, and GIF stickers, has revealed Twitter.
In search of new functions
Although Twitter The Fleets have not come to work as expected, they will continue looking for alternatives that allow them to see ways that there is a greater participation by the users of the platform.
This has been communicated by the social network: We will continue to create new ways to engage in conversations, listening to feedback and changing direction when there may be a better way to serve people who use Twitter.
As we have mentioned, the date of the end of Fleets will be next August 3, so it will be the date from which they will no longer be displayed and will disappear for all users who make use of it. However, users will continue to see the avatars of the audio rooms that are active at all times.
Those who want to continue making ephemeral publications should bet on platforms such as Instagram or Snapchat, where a story format continues to be maintained that has been highly successful and in which it is an essential function for users, especially in the case of the network. social that belongs to Facebook, where it is the preferred function by users.
Twitter will add voice effects to its audio rooms
Twitter is preparing a new feature for live audio rooms, which could change the way users use this tool on its platform. It is very likely that voice effects will be added to Twitter Spaces shortly, which will open a new range of possibilities for those looking for a more fun environment.
In this way, Twitter is working on a new function to manipulate the voice for Spaces, where you can see a new option under the name of Voice Transformer, which is focused on changing the way the audience listens to users. , being able to select for this a transformation of the voice.
In this way, different effects can be added, such as the possibility of changing the tone of the voice and the echo of the audio, being able to add other functions focused on voice manipulation as well.
In this way, we will find cartoon voice effects, karaoke, space phone, microphone, stadium ..., thanks to which you will be able to display greater creativity, although for the moment Twitter has not mentioned anything about this new function for meeting rooms. audio, so at the moment it remains a feature in development. Despite this, it could be a matter of months before it is finally launched on the market. It is very possible that this function, as usual, will first arrive as a test to a certain group of users and some territories, where its operation will be evaluated before it is launched for all users globally.
At the moment we have seen a variety of live audio rooms on Twitter, which are not only focused on professional areas but also follow a variety of topics, with an integration of filters or voice effects that could give the social network a funniest scenario.
