Twitter is adding an edit button, the company said yesterday. The “Edit Tweet” option will become available “in the coming months” to users of the paid Twitter Blue subscription, with a potential rollout to other users later on.
The announcement came shortly after Elon Musk joined the Twitter board of directors and polled users about whether they want an edit button. But Tweets said the edit button has been in the works for months.
“Now that everyone is asking… yes, we’ve been working on an edit feature since last year! ” Twitter’s communications team wrote in a tweet . “No, we didn’t get the idea from a poll 
. We’re kicking off testing within @TwitterBlue Labs in the arriving months to learn what works, what doesn’t, and what’s possible. ” Twitter Blue currently offers an ” Undo Tweet ” option that will delays sending tweets for up to 60 seconds, but the particular planned edit button would be the first feature to let users change a tweet right after it has been posted. Facebook Blue costs $2. 99 the month in the US.
