Is Twitter testing 'edit tweet' option? Here's what social media company said

The much-desired Edit Tweet tool is now being tested on Twitter. The edit button will initially be rolled out for the Twitter Blue subscribers, the social media platform announced. Later this month, some Twitter Blue users will be allowed to edit tweets after years of memes and jokes.

A complete edit history with previous iterations of the changed tweet will be included in the edit label. According to Twitter, it is testing editable tweets with a limited group at first to identify any potential problems. “This includes how people might misuse the feature. You can never be too careful,” says Twitter.

Later this month, when the initial round of internal testing is through, the Edit Tweet capability will be made available to certain Twitter Blue subscribers. According to Twitter, "the test will first be confined to a single nation and extend as we learn and watch how people use Edit Tweet."

For up to 30 minutes after a tweet has been published, users can amend it using the edit button. The updated tweet will be clearly marked with a label, timestamp, and icon when it is published. Additionally, Twitter users will be able to view all the modifications made to the original content by clicking the tweet.

With an estimated 320 million active users, Twitter has received several requests to implement a feature that would enable users to alter posts after they have been shared. Despite many pleas from users, Twitter had long refused to do so.
