Twitter’s edit button surfaces although it won’t work right now

By Scott Marlette Last updated Apr 18, 2022

Has this ever happened to you? You’re composing a tweet and very proud of what you are saying. Perhaps it was a hilarious joke or a brilliant bit of analysis on your part. Regardless, you are excited for the Twitter community to read your contribution. But when re-reading the tweet, you realize that thanks to a typing error, you’ve tweeted the exact opposite of what you wanted to say.

Twitter will soon beta test its eagerly awaited edit button

Twitter famously does not feature an edit button, so the only thing you can do is tweet a correction before the negative comments start heading your way. But soon, you might be able to tap an edit button and revise your tweet. A tweet from Twitter (how else did you think the company would communicate to the public, through WhatsApp?) during the first week of April said that the firm was indeed working on adding an Edit button.

To access the Edit Tweet button, you will have to open the overflow menu and press on the Edit Tweet listing in the menu. When the button is working, users will be able to correct spelling errors and typos, add content to a tweet they have written, and hit “Update” to make the appropriate changes to the post. Again, the button is not yet functional and if you try to use it, a failure message will appear.

Musk’s poll shows that an overwhelming number of Twitter users want an Edit button

Right now, Twitter says that the edit button will first be available for Twitter Blue subscribers as a beta release. Before the feature becomes available to all Twitter users, there will be an opportunity for the company to make any changes that it deems necessary.

Where do you stand on this issue? Do you want to be able to make changes to your Twitter posts to fix errors and add content, or are you happy to keep your tweet unchanged forever? Pass along your comments in the box below.
