It’s official, Twitter is finally adding the elusive edit button. The most requested feature will become a reality in a matter of months.
Twitter has officially confirmed that it is finally adding the one feature users have requested for years: The edit button. The social media giant’s communications team said in a tweet Tuesday evening that it has been working on the elusive feature for the past year, relieving concerns that it was an April Fool’s joke after it was announced for the first time on Friday. Instead of rolling out the edit button to everyone as it has done with some other features, the company said that plans to test it for Twitter Blue subscribers “in the coming months.” To further confirm the reality of the feature, it pointed out that it didn’t get the idea from the poll created by Elon Musk, who was just appointed to Twitter’s board of directors. Twitter fans have been routinely asking for a way to edit tweets so that they can fix embarrassing typos and other mistakes, but without sacrificing the replies, likes, and retweets for the sake of sending a flawless message.
