Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor Twitter is finally about to give the world a look at its “Edit Tweet” function — which for years has been the No.
1 most-requested feature by users. The company said Edit Tweet is currently being tested by internal teams. Starting later in September, the test will expand initially to subscribers of Twitter Blue, its service with enhanced features for power users that costs $4.99/month in the U.S.
In the test, users will be allowed to edit tweets a few times within a 30-minute window after they’re posted. Edited tweets will appear with an icon, label and timestamp so “it’s clear to readers that the original Tweet has been modified,” the company said in a blog post.
Tapping the label will take viewers to the tweet’s Edit History, showing past versions of the post. Twitter shared an example of what an edited tweet will look like: “We’re hoping that, with the availability of Edit Tweet, Tweeting will feel more approachable and less stressful,” the company said. “You should be able to participate in the conversation in a way that makes sense to you, and we’ll keep working on ways that make it feel effortless to do just that.” Why is Twitter limiting the ability to make edits to only the first 30 minutes? “Think of it as a short period of time to do things like fix typos, add missed tags, and more,” the company said.
