Twitter has announced that it\u2019s working to allow users to edit their tweets after posting them. The idea is that you\u2019ll be able to fix any typos or errors in a tweet without sacrificing any replies, retweets, or likes it\u2019s already accrued. Twitter plans to begin testing the feature with Twitter Blue subscribers in \u201cthe coming months,\u201d the company said Tuesday<\/a>.<\/p>\n Jay Sullivan, the company\u2019s VP of consumer product, said that editing has been \u201cthe most requested Twitter feature for many years\u201d in a thread on Tuesday<\/a>. The company has been looking into how to build the feature \u201cin a safe manner\u201d since last year.<\/p>\n \u201cWithout things like time limits, controls, and transparency about what has been edited, Edit could be misused to alter the record of the public conversation,\u201d he said<\/a>. \u201cProtecting the integrity of that public conversation is our top priority when we approach this work.\u201d<\/p>\n 3\/ Without things like time limits, controls, and transparency about what has been edited, Edit could be misused to alter the record of the public conversation. Protecting the integrity of that public conversation is our top priority when we approach this work.<\/p>\n \u2014 Jay Sullivan (@jaysullivan) April 5, 2022<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n People have been asking for an edit button for so long that it\u2019s become something of an ongoing joke. \u201cTweets, but editable\u201d has become the standard response to discovering a typo in a popular tweet. But Twitter\u2019s former CEO, Jack Dorsey, was reluctant to add such a feature in the past. During a talk in 2018<\/a>, Dorsey expressed concern that an edit button could let users change a tweet\u2019s meaning after it gets widely shared, and in 2020 he said Twitter would \u201cprobably never<\/a>\u201d add the feature. <\/p>\n Concerns like these have consistently cropped up around requests for an edit button. But as my colleague Casey Newton argued in 2017<\/a>, numerous other platforms, including Facebook, Medium, and Instagram, already allow users to edit their posts, and the features haven\u2019t been accompanied by widespread abuse. But that doesn\u2019t mean that abuse is unheard of. According to Meta\u2019s former chief security officer Alex Stamos<\/a>, Facebook\u2019s editing feature has been abused in the past, in one case to help a cryptocurrency scam.<\/p>\n Twitter\u2019s opinion on an edit button appears to have shifted after Parag Agrawal became CEO. On April 1st, the annual day of corporate lies, Twitter\u2019s official account said it was \u201cworking on an edit button.<\/a>\u201d Although it was taken as a joke at the time, Twitter product lead Michael Sayman later pointed to the tweet as the company\u2019s \u201cofficial statement<\/a>\u201d on the feature. <\/p>\n Days later, after it emerged that Elon Musk had bought a 9.2 percent stake in the company<\/a>, the Tesla CEO\u2019s first significant tweet was to poll his followers<\/a> on whether Twitter should add an edit button. 73.4 percent were in favor. <\/p>\n The company already has an undo feature that lets you recall a tweet before you send it, though it\u2019s only available for Twitter Blue subscribers<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
