In a tweet<\/a>, Manchun Wong explains that the edit function appears to have an \u201cimmutable\u201d quality, which means Twitter may create an entirely new tweet when one is edited, all while preserving the previous versions of that tweet.<\/p>\n \u201cLooks like Twitter\u2019s approach to Edit Tweet is immutable, as in, instead of mutating the Tweet text within the same Tweet (same ID), it re-creates a new Tweet with the amended content, along with the list of the old Tweets prior of that edit,\u201d Manchun Wong says.<\/p>\n Looks like Twitter\u2019s approach to Edit Tweet is immutable, as in, instead of mutating the Tweet text within the same Tweet (same ID), it re-creates a new Tweet with the amended content, along with the list of the old Tweets prior of that edit<\/p>\n \u2014 Jane Manchun Wong (@wongmjane) April 16, 2022<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n As Manchun Wong notes<\/a>, it\u2019s unclear how a tweet\u2019s edit history will appear to users, or if it will at all. But if Twitter does decide to make tweet history public, it could be a way to address concerns over potential abuse of the feature, as some critics believe it could be used to alter the public record<\/a> and mislead users.<\/p>\n App researcher Alessandro Paluzzi also tweeted out<\/a> what appear to be screenshots of the new feature, giving us a glimpse at how the edit button might actually look when it\u2019s live on Twitter. In one screenshot, Paluzzi shows how the \u201cEdit Tweet\u201d option could appear in the three-dot menu on the right side of your tweets.<\/p>\n Selecting the button<\/a> leads you to a screen that looks much like the regular tweet composer, only it\u2019s pre-filled with your tweet’s text and says \u201cUpdate\u201d in the bottom right corner instead of \u201cTweet.\u201d Paluzzi\u2019s screenshots don’t show an option to view a tweet\u2019s edit history, however.<\/p>\n Twitter has yet to confirm the presence of a tweet history tracker. \u201cNothing else to share at the moment beyond what is in this Tweet from @TwitterComms<\/a> and this Tweet from @JaySullivan<\/a>, VP of Consumer Product,\u201d Twitter spokesperson Anna Hubatsch said in an emailed statement to The Verge<\/em>.<\/p>\n Twitter first announced that it\u2019s working on the coveted edit button<\/a> earlier this month, after seemingly joking about the feature on April Fool\u2019s Day<\/a>. But just before Twitter\u2019s official confirmation, Tesla CEO Elon Musk polled his followers about an edit button<\/a> after disclosing his purchase of a 9.2 percent stake in Twitter<\/a>, becoming Twitter\u2019s largest individual shareholder. It\u2019s been a whirlwind of events since then, with Musk joining<\/a> and leaving Twitter\u2019s board of directors<\/a>, and then offering to buy the entire company<\/a>. Twitter shareholders are currently attempting to block Musk\u2019s buyout with the poison pill method<\/a>.<\/p>\n
