Twitter To Launch Long-Requested “Edit Button”

April 5, 2022 Social Media, Technology

Elon Musk will surely take credit for this:

It’s a feature that Twitter users have been requesting for so long that it’s become a meme, but now the mythical “edit button” is actually becoming a reality.

Twitter has announced that it’s working to allow users to edit their tweets after posting them. The idea is that you’ll be able to fix any typos or errors in a tweet without sacrificing any replies, retweets, or likes it’s already accrued.

Twitter plans to begin testing the feature with Twitter Blue subscribers in “the coming months,” the company said Tuesday.

I expect that some will use the function to go back and alter their inflammatory posts once they’ve sufficiently owned the libs.
