You Can Mute Twitter Fleets, But That's Not A Perfect Solution

If you lot're bellyaching by Twitter Fleets, you tin can mute them, but it'southward not as easy as you think, at least when it comes to muting all of them. There is no way to disable Fleets in full general, just to exist clear, we're talking about muting them only. The thing is, y'all cannot mute them altogether, that would basically hateful you can disable them. What you can do, yet, is mute them one at a time. That would mean that you'd have to mute every single person that publishes a Fleet, if you don't want to see a single one, which is kind of the reason why we're publishing this.

Twitter Fleets are basically the same thing every bit Instagram Stories, while both Facebook and YouTube have the aforementioned characteristic with a unlike name. I, personally, don't really use those features on any of the aforementioned apps. I'm fed up with that feature, to be quite honest. I've noticed that quite a few people share that opinion, at least based on the comments sent to Twitter after the visitor started rolling out the feature to everyone. Well, if you're like me, y'all'll probably want to mute those Fleets. Below, I'll explain how you can practice that.

This is how yous tin can mute Twitter Fleets, though yous'll have to exercise it ane by one

As already mentioned, you'll need to do this one at a time. So, once someone publishes a Fleet, and that Fleet appears at the meridian of your timeline, tap information technology. Once yous do, you'll come across a downward-facing pointer in the top-right corner of the display, as shown in the prototype beneath. Tap that selection, and you'll go a popular-upwards menu.

In this new menu, you'll encounter two options. The first will allow y'all to study said Fleet, while the 2d one will permit you to mute information technology. We want to do the latter, of course, so yous'll demand to tap that pick.

Once you practise that, y'all'll be asked whether you desire to mute Fleets only, or if you lot desire to mute both Fleets and Tweets from the person you've selected. If you want to do both, go for it, but we're hither for the Fleets. And then, tap the 'Mute Fleets' selection.

That is pretty much information technology, you won't see Fleets from the person you lot've muted. Doing this for every unmarried contact that publishes a Fleet tin be annoying, especially if you have a ton of contacts who publish them. If you lot're actually annoyed past the characteristic, this is definitely worth doing, as you take to do it once per person.

Doing all this won't remove 'Fleets' menu from the Twitter app

Unfortunately, Twitter did not offer us an pick to disable Fleets altogether. In other words, you cannot remove them from the superlative of your timeline. Even if you mute anybody who publishes them, that menu volition nonetheless sit at the top, along with the icon that allows you to publish a new Fleet. So, muting Fleets is non an ideal solution, but at least you won't take to look at new ones, fifty-fifty though that menu will all the same poke you lot in the eye.

It's unlikely that Twitter volition comply, and offer u.s.a. a manner to disable that carte du jour altogether. We can hope though, and if you lot're annoyed by Fleets and don't plan to use them, submitting an opinion / request to Twitter may aid things.
