In recent years we have seen that almost all social, entertainment and career platforms, even those that focus on finding a partner, are dedicated to the fashion that Snapchat has created in the past.
Well, we're talking about news, those temporary formatted books that have changed the way things are using apps are as big as Instagram. In fact, in this once-popular social network, it now forms the core of the app.
Other apps like WhatsApp, Tinder or Netflix itself have opted for this idea, now it's Twitter's chance.
Twitter News will be called Fleets
Twitter Product Manager, Kayvon Beykpour, announcing that the service has started testing a new kind of tweet, or at least that protects the platform, with a beauty and temporary structure similar to the stories we see on Instagram or Snapchat.
We have been listening to this feedback and working to develop new skills that address some of the concerns that keep people from being able to talk on Twitter. Today, in Brazil alone, we're launching a test (on Android and iOS) with one of those new capabilities. It's called Fleets. pic.twitter.com/6MLs8irb0c

How can we see in the video that has added the Twitter manager himself to his account, the Twitter news will work the same way they did on Instagram. To publish one we simply have to click on our avatar in a new category that will be at the top of our timeline.
Once we have entered the new interface we can upload text and pictures, and our followers can contact us, even if those responses come to us in the form of private messages, much like Instagram.
Currently these issues are restricted to Twitter users in Brazil, although they will eventually reach the world. At least if they succeed, they definitely will.
And third-party apps?
A change in how it has enough power to change the way many users use Twitter. That could affect engineers who have made independent requests for the agency for many years.
We know that Twitter has been promoting the use of its application for a while, and if it didn't open its API for this new feature, there may be many users switching from a third-party customer to an executive to use the new news.
