New Twitter Feature Allows Users To Share Visual Background When Sharing Fleet Tweets
Twitter has introduced new features that allow content creators to approve or deny comments
Twitter is becoming more and more visual, thanks to a new tool that allows users to add a background visual when sharing Tweets in fleets.
The new feature means that when a user goes to share a tweet via Fleets, they are then able to add in either an already captured image/video as a background or create a new one, which can add more context to a fleet response.
Currently, users can only use a default, coloured Fleet background whenever they share a Tweet.
This could help brands enhance their Fleet engagement options.
