The social media company said tweets can be edited “sometimes” in half an hour. Tweets will appear with an icon, timestamp and label to make it clear that the original post has been modified. Tapping the tag will take viewers to an edit history, which will include previous versions of the tweet. “The time limit and version history play an important role here. They help protect the integrity of the conversation and create a publicly accessible record of what was said,” the company said. Twitter said an edit button was the most requested feature by its users. Photo: Editing Tweet The feature is undergoing internal testing and will roll out to subscribers of Twitter’s Blue service later this month. However, this test will initially be limited to one country, Twitter said. Twitter Blue is available in the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand and offers services such as an “undo” feature that gives users a 60-second window to modify a sent tweet before it appears publicly. In the blog post, Twitter said an edit button was the platform’s most requested feature by its nearly 238 million users. The company said users should view the trial mode as “a short window of time to do things like fix typos, add missing tags, and more.” “We hope that with the availability of edit tweet, tweeting will be more accessible and less stressful. You should be able to participate in the conversation in a way that is meaningful to you, and we will continue to work on ways to make it effortless for you to do so,” the company said.

Twitter announced in April that it was working on an edit button shortly after a poll on the Elon Musk issue, though it didn’t provide many details. At the time Twitter said it had been working on the button long before the intervention of Musk, who then agreed to buy the business for $44bn (£38bn) but is now trying to get out of the deal.
