Twitter is finally testing and rolling out the “Edit Tweet” feature; first to Twitter Blue subscribers

Twitter is finally testing the “edit tweet” feature after many calls for this feature. This is most requested feature to date on the platform. We reported last month that Twitter was a step closer to adding the “long-awaited” edit button.

Edit Tweet is a feature that lets people make changes to their Tweet after it’s been published. This means that you can now fix those typos, add missed tags and more.

The current test is being carried out by twitter’s internal team and according to the company in a blog post,

“For this test, Tweets will be able to be edited a few times in the 30 minutes following their publication. Edited Tweets will appear with an icon, timestamp, and label so it’s clear to readers that the original Tweet has been modified. Tapping the label will take viewers to the Tweet’s Edit History, which includes past versions of the Tweet.”

Limiting the test first to Twitter’s internal team will help the company incorporate feedback while identifying and resolving potential issues. The Edit tweet access will be expanded to Twitter Blue subscribers later this month.

“As part of their subscription, they receive early access to features and help us test them before they come to Twitter. The test will be localized 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.”

Twitter Blue is currently available only in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the U.S.
