Twitter is working on an edit button that is probably a symbolic and fundamental shift. Coincidentally such a salient step comes after the backdrop of Elon Musk’s becoming the majority shareholder in the social media giant. The company states that they are indeed working on an edit button Tuesday.
They state that they have been working on an editing feature since last year. This feature will not be released to the public as yet and will be tested in Twitter Blue Labs, which is basically a premium subscription area where test out new features with the audience who opt for that option.
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 😉
we're kicking off testing within @TwitterBlue Labs in the coming months to learn what works, what doesn’t, and what’s possible.
From the announcement it is clear that we will probably get to use this feature sometime this year. It’s a pretty interesting move that might anger some fans who liked Twitter for their unfiltered unedited option. Given the current climate of misinformation, users will now be given a chance to edit their mistakes.
Currently Twitter is enjoying a euphoric moment given that Elon Musk has become the main shareholder who might want to impose his own ideas into the mix. Given his unpredictability, it’s up for grabs whether Twitter will change and if that is case, by how much?
Regardless, his fans are waiting to see what he has up his sleeve for the social media giant.
