Why Twitter May Never Get An ‘edit’ Button, Says CEO by temitofa(m): 4:07am On Jan 17, 2020
One of the most requested features by Twitter users is the ability to edit tweets, but perhaps it’s time for users to give up and forget about that wish ever becoming real. The reason for saying this is because of a recent video interview with Wired, Twitter’s founder and CEO, Jack Dorsey.

He said that while the company has considered bringing on an Edit button, it is pretty much not pleased with its implementation because it will be going against the very essence of the platform.

Answering a question on whether the site is planning to introduce an edit button for Twitter in 2020, Dorsey replied with a emphatic ‘No’. According to him, the ability to edit tweets will go against the very essence of the platform, which was envisaged as an alternative to text messaging, what with its 160 character limit and all.

“We started as an SMS, text message service. And as you all know, when you send a text, you can’t really take it back. We (want) to preserve that vibe, that feeling”, he said.

Twitter is for intellectual individuals.. If you are prone to mistakes, go to Instagram where you post pictures all day.

Twitter is a very rich platform but I wonder why it's not growing as big as Facebook. It's time Facebook gets a real competition
