Fri 16 September 2022:
On September 21, Twitter will launch its eagerly anticipated Edit Tweet feature, which will initially be available to its Blue subscribers who pay $4.99 per month.
After a tweet has been published, users can edit it using the Edit Tweet feature.
Edited Tweets will have an icon, a timestamp, and a label to make it clear to readers that they have been changed from the original Tweet.
Tapping the label will take viewers to the Tweet’s Edit History, which includes past versions of the Tweet.
The feature is probably going to be made available to the public starting next week, according to a tweet from Platformer’s Casey Newton on Friday.
“Twitter is planning to begin the public test of editing tweets on Wednesday 9/21, per internal documents shared with me,” he posted.
Twitter users have been asking for an edit button for years to fix typos and grammatical errors.
Earlier this month, Twitter announced a small test for the Edit Tweet feature with an internal team first, before it rolls out the feature to the public.
“Think of it as a short period of time to do things like fix typos, add missed tags, and more,” said Twitter.
VERIFIED USER PROFILE PHONE NUMBERS WILL BE LABELED BY TWITTER
Twitter said it is intentionally testing Edit Tweet with a smaller group to also know how people might misuse the feature.
The test will be localised to a single country at first and expand as “we learn and observe how people use Edit Tweet”.
“We’ll also be paying close attention to how the feature impacts the way people read, write, and engage with Tweets,” according to the company.
