Twitter’s edit button is finally arriving in the US. The company will begin gradually rolling out the long-awaited feature to Twitter Blue subscribers in the US on Thursday afternoon, Twitter spokesperson Joseph Nuñez said in an email to The Verge. Lucky subscribers in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand have had the ability to edit their typos since Monday, and now it’s coming to the US.

I’ve already seen a bunch of edited tweets on my timeline. The key has been to look for a little pencil icon on tweets in your feed or in tweets themselves. If you want to see an edit history, click on a tweet and then on the pencil. Tweets can be edited up to five times and only 30 minutes after someone has posted the tweet.

Once the ability to edit a tweet has rolled out to you, you’ll be able to find it in the Labs section of the app that’s available to Twitter Blue subscribers, which costs $4.99 per month. Some tweets can’t be edited, like replies, retweets, and polls. You can see the full list of what can’t be changed as well as read more details about the edit feature in a Twitter support document. The feature is still in testing, so some aspects could change down the line.

Twitter first announced it was really, actually, for real working on an edit button on April 1st, meaning nobody actually believed the company until the feature was officially revealed a few days later. I personally still thought it might all be some elaborate ruse, but here we are. Fingers crossed Elon Musk keeps the edit button around if he ends up actually acquiring the company, though everything with that situation is still pretty messy.

Here's an example from my timeline. The first screenshot shows the edited tweet. The second screenshot shows what you see when you check the original tweet. The third screenshot shows the reactions.

Vote Mr. Peter Obi.

God bless you as you use the "Edit Button"

The way politics is inserted in every post...

Cool

US are getting the 'Edit' button to set their tweets right just as Nigeria is getting Obi-Datti to set their country right.

Add eight years to your age.

Think of all the great things that could happen for you, your family and your dependents if Nigeria gets finally working.

In the end, Vote Wisely.

Direct monetization of Twitter

Like seriously, it's stressful typing epistles only to notice an error or two, then you have to delete it.

Great

I open this thread because I though this selfish Twitter of a thing will be paying thier user like youtube. I want to be rejoicing that an avenue to make money don arrive. Make dem carry their 4.99 per month go their father house. Nonsense!!

This is the beginning of the end for twitter


It’s makes no sense to edit a tweet and then disjoint it out of context in retweets and quotes

This feature would have prevented a lot of crises had it been introduced during Trump's tenure

Ok

An edit button will take away the credibility of twitter

Ok

Good innovations, at least let twitter make money small, sometimes I wonder how mark Zuckerberg, tiktok owner and twitter and google and YouTube owners are not the richest people in the world considering the millions and billions of people using their platforms every second of the day.

Maybe, the need to employ a typical Nigeria man to help them make money with their app successfully.

For instance, if they employ me:
1) Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Instagram, YouTube will be running on subscription based, or limit important features for free users to subscribe.

2) Chatting or posting would be calculated based on #1000 words for #1 naira or 0.20 cents for dollars and pounds users.

3) Calls or video calls will be minimally billed at a very low cost connected directly from your bank. Like 10hours of calls should be charged at the rate of #5 naira and it's equivalent to dollar and pounds respectively.

4) Money making button for content creators and be split by percentage of 20/70, a win win.

5) National and international easy and fast Fund transfer buttons, work with banks to make it possible, then take our charges.

6) Business accounts would be charged more, personal profiles will be charged something close to none.

Lastly
7) Bans are subject to paid approvals, depends on the offense . Lol.


If they can implement these, then watch Mark Zuckerberg and likes climb to no 1 richesh man in the world within 3 months.

Do you think this is good? Like if yes . Share if no

Ok

The internet is learning to forget
No sordid past to nail anybody again with.

Only in USA for now.

Musk wan catch em money if em buy am

Modified: only bankers know the worth of that $4.99

For the miners in the trenches...

We go delete our tweets be that...

That's nice.
