Twitter begins Testing Edit Button for Premium Users

After years of users’ non-stop requests, Twitter is now giving in to the demands of its premium followers. Recently the social media giant hinted about offering a brand-new feature for the tweeting community that will crease the ease of posting their tweets. A function called Edit Tweet is being tested by Twitter, but only for a limited set of users. There are multiple elements connected to this news, and here we will discuss all significant leaks and official news that Twitter shared with followers.

Twitter Edit Button

The authentic reports are indicating some users may start seeing edited tweets in their feeds. Since Twitter tested the long-awaited edit button, the chances of experiencing the latest feature are highly possible. According to Twitter, the ability to edit tweets is now being tested internally before being made available to Blue (Premium) subscribers in the coming weeks. Access to these premium services is paid for every month by Twitter Blue subscribers.

Based on the social media brand, the test will initially be made available to Twitter Blue customers in New Zealand, with Australia, Canada, and the US following. On the platform, customized tweets will also be visible to users outside the test group. A few months ago, Twitter said that it had been testing an editing tool for a year and that Twitter Blue subscribers will be able to use it in the coming months. The news was made on the same day that the firm said Elon Musk would join its board of directors and after he asked his followers whether they wanted an edit button on the platform.

Edit Button Feature Impact

Twitter already confirmed the latest feature that was not picked directly from the random unofficial survey results. Although many users have been demanding for years that Twitter include an edit button, which competitors like Facebook and Instagram already offer, some users have expressed worries about the possible consequences of such a tool. Safety experts asked the following unexpected scenario, for instance; what if an acceptable tweet that went viral was later changed to contain harassment or false information, expanding the reach of a tweet that may not have otherwise spread?

How Twitter Edit Feature Works 

The positive outcome of this feature is slightly different compared to what experts are suggesting at this moment. Smartphones are filled with social media photos and screenshots that can be accidentally removed after using phone cleaner apps. The new ‘Edit Tweet’ feature can assist to recover old photos or even switch them with the latest pictures. The edit option will enable users to modify a tweet after it has been posted, frequently to correct mistakes or add tags. A tweet can be changed a few times within thirty minutes of publication during this trial period, according to the Twitter spokesperson. Revisiting your tweets is another interesting feature, which indicates past versions of the tweet will also be available for readers to view.

Latest Feature Rolling Out Soon

Twitter announced that it will first test the edit button with a limited group to include comments while detecting and resolving any difficulties. The digital brand is focusing on finding potential errors and removing any ways of ruining tweets to deliver a smooth user experience. Later this month, editing tweet feature access will be made available to Twitter Blue subscribers. It is not yet confirmed when Twitter will officially introduce this feature to the global audience but if the feature receives a positive response, we might get it at the end of the year.
