After a long wait, Twitter finally confirmed that it’s working on an edit tweet button, and plans to test it in the coming months.
The platform said it’s been working on this support since last year and will be rolling out to Twitter Blue users soon. Also, Twitter confirmed that adding this edit tweet option is not a result of Musk’s recent poll, asking his followers whether they want an edit button or not.
An Edit Tweet Button for Twitter Blue Users
To date, Twitter’s got most of the features required for voicing their thoughts. But, it’s missing an important one for ages, and that’s the edit button for a live tweet. This has been the most requested feature by the community for quite a time, but Jack Dorsey, former Twitter CEO said they would “probably never” add one.
Yet, it’s making one now! Twitter Communications today confirmed that it’s been working on an edit button since last year, and is ready to test with Twitter Blue users soon. Without explaining much of this new addition, Twitter said it will be rolling out all in a few months.
now that everyone is asking… yes, we’ve been working on an edit feature since last year! no, we didn’t get the idea from a poll ???? we’re kicking off testing within @TwitterBlue Labs in the coming months to learn what works, what doesn’t, and what’s possible. — Twitter Comms (@TwitterComms) April 5, 2022
