At the end of 2020, Twitter decided to join Instagram and Facebook, and some other platforms, and also create stories for its users. These stories are called fleets, and general reception of the concept was mixed.

Some people loved it and jumped on the fleet bandwagon immediately. Others simply think that there is no place for stories on Twitter.

If you fall into the latter group, you probably want to remove fleets from your Twitter account. In this article, we will discuss how fleets work and how to manage them.

How to delete fleets on Twitter on iOS and Android

Although Twitter is available for desktop, there is no doubt that you will be able to get the most out of your smartphone. Plus, it’s exponentially more convenient to use Twitter on your smartphone.

When it comes to Twitter fleets, the good news is that both Android and iOS The Twitter app is identical and it doesn’t matter what device you are using as the interface is exactly the same. That means the steps to delete fleets will be the same on both.

2. When the story opens, tap the three vertical dots in the top right corner of the screen.

4. Another screen will appear asking you to confirm that you want to mute this user’s fleets. Select “Mute Fleets.”
   

You also have the option to “Mute fleets and tweets.”
