Twitter’s editable tweets beta code is painting a picture of how the upcoming feature will work.
Twitter’s approach to editable tweets is starting to make sense. Two weeks after announcing that Editable Tweets were coming to the social platform, the beta code is starting to pop up for some users – though most of it doesn’t appear functional. Even so, we’re learning about two crucial aspects of the long-hoped-for feature. First, there is how Twitter will manage edited Tweets. According to tech blogger Jane Manchun Wong, Twitter may not let you directly edit and republish a tweet and might, instead, create a new tweet with a new ID and then keep a record of the previous tweet along with it in a list. In other words, we won’t be directly editing Tweets but creating versions.
