The feature, which they are already working on internally, will arrive first for paying subscribers.
One of the key claims made by Twitter users is about to become a reality. The developers are already doing internal testing to launch the button to edit tweets. Of course not for all users. Only paying subscribers will be able to edit their posts once they’re published at the end of September. A functionality, they explain from the company, that will be generalized if they pass the tests.
“We want to test it with a small group of people to help us identify, learn and improve its functionality before sharing it with the public. This also includes how people could abuse the feature,” the statement published by Twitter explains.
For years, users have been asking Twitter to make it possible to edit posts, if only for spelling reasons, as other social applications like Facebook or Instagram have already allowed.
Now it will be a possibility on the social network, albeit only for a limited time. In other words, users can only make changes to their posts “a few times,” according to the company, and only for the first 30 minutes of the tweet’s life.
Edited Tweets are displayed with an icon, timestamp, and label to indicate to readers that the original Tweet has been edited. Tapping the tag takes users to the Tweet’s edit history, which contains previous versions of the Tweet. Until now, only users of Twitter Blue, the company’s paid product, had access to the ability to hold the post for one minute, which allowed them to view or rerun the post before it was published.
It was this Wednesday when, in the midst of a legal campaign between the social network and billionaire Elon Musk, the company launched a new functionality called “Twitter Circles”. They entered beta a few months ago and are already enabled for all users. They are posts that the user can choose to be seen only by certain followers.
