For those longing for an edit button on Twitter, your prayers have been answered! Twitter has finally confirmed that it has been working on the edit option since last year and it should roll out soon. Also, this is Twitter’s way of telling that its decision wasn’t based on Elon Musk’s tweet yesterday.
The news comes from Twitter’s Comms account, revealing that the feature will be tested with Twitter Blue users as part of the Labs option in the coming months. The idea here is to “learn what works, what doesn’t, and what’s possible” before making the edit button public.
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.— Twitter Comms (@TwitterComms) April 5, 2022
This confirmation comes shortly after Elon Musk, who is now the Twitter board member and the largest shareholder, posted a poll asking people if they want an Edit button. While the response was majorly positive, Twitter has already confirmed that its decision to start testing an edit option isn’t because of Musk.
