Twitter said on Sept 1, 2022, it has begun actively testing an edit button, after months of publicly discussing such a tweak. The trial of ‘Edit Tweet’ will begin with internal employees, then be expanded out to the platform’s ‘Twitter Blue’ subscription population, the company said. — AFP
Twitter Inc is launching an edit button for the first time, after years of debate both internally and externally as to whether such a a feature was a good idea for a product known for making posts go viral.
The edit feature will soon be available to users who pay US$4.99 (RM22) per month for a subscription to Twitter Blue. Edit Tweet, as the feature will be called, will let users make changes to their tweet for up to 30 minutes after it’s originally published. Tweets that are edited will carry a label, and others on Twitter will be able to click on the label to see prior versions of the post.
