Twitter is now testing its highly requested Edit Tweet feature. After years of memes and jokes, editable tweets will be available to some Twitter Blue subscribers later this month. The feature is currently undergoing \u201cinternal testing\u201d and appears to mimic Facebook in its edit style, with a linked edit history for tweets that we saw in leaks earlier this year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cTweets will be able to be edited a few times in the 30 minutes following their publication,\u201d according to a Twitter blog post<\/a>. \u201cEdited Tweets will appear with an icon, timestamp, and label so it\u2019s clear to readers that the original Tweet has been modified.\u201d<\/p>\n

The edit label will include a complete edit history with past versions of the edited tweet. Twitter says it\u2019s testing editable tweets with a small group initially to capture any early issues. \u201cThis includes how people might misuse the feature. You can never be too careful,\u201d says Twitter.<\/p>\n

Once the initial internal testing is complete, the Edit Tweet feature will expand to some Twitter Blue subscribers later this month. \u201cThe test will be localized to a single country at first and expand as we learn and observe how people use Edit Tweet,\u201d explains Twitter.<\/p>\n

if you see an edited Tweet it’s because we’re testing the edit button<\/p>\n

this is happening and you’ll be okay<\/p>\n

\u2014 Twitter (@Twitter) September 1, 2022<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

Jay Sullivan, Twitter\u2019s VP of consumer product, said earlier this year<\/a> that editing a tweet has been \u201cthe most requested Twitter feature for many years.\u201d While it\u2019s highly requested, there has also been concern around misuse. Former CEO Jack Dorsey resisted an Edit Tweet feature, saying in 2020 that Twitter would \u201cprobably never<\/a>\u201d add the feature.<\/p>\n

Facebook, Instagram, Medium, and many other platforms include edit buttons, and there aren\u2019t many high-profile examples of abuse. Meta\u2019s former chief security officer Alex Stamos highlighted a cryptocurrency scam<\/a> involving Facebook\u2019s editing feature earlier this year, but it\u2019s still a rare example.<\/p>\n

Twitter is only talking about editable tweets for its Blue subscription, which recently raised its price in the US<\/a> to $4.99 per month from $2.99. That means we probably won\u2019t see an edit button for regular users any time soon. Other features available to Twitter Blue subscribers include an undo feature<\/a> to recall tweets before you send them, a customizable navigation bar, a list of top articles shared by people you follow, and even NFT hexagon profile pics<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
