Twitter has been working on the edit button secretly since last year.
Twitter’s most requested feature, the edit button, is actually real, and is set to arrive as a test feature later this year. The company announced the news this afternoon amid speculation that new Twitter board member Elon Musk will pressure the social media platform into adding an edit button. “Now that everyone is asking… yes, we’ve been working on an edit feature since last year! No, we didn’t get the idea from a poll,” Twitter tweeted, referencing the poll Musk started on Monday asking if users want an edit button. The company plans on testing the edit button first among users of Twitter Blue, which costs $2.99 per month. The edit button will be available through the Twitter Blue Labs beta program in the coming months.
