Twitter Sends First Edited Tweet for All to See
Appropriately, the first edited tweet is from Twitter Blue’s account. It’s actually pretty clear that a tweet has been edited, as its timestamp will be preceded by a pencil icon and a “Last edited” notation with a specific time. When viewing edited tweets in a feed, the pencil icon will sit next to the time-since-tweeted time stamp. See Also: Twitter for iOS gets TikTok-inspired full-screen video feature
this is a test to make sure the edit button works, we’ll let you know how it goes — Twitter Blue (@TwitterBlue) September 29, 2022 This was the feature that Twitter users were asking for years. They’ve asked for an edit button for years. The company confirmed it was working on the feature back in April. Now, the option is finally available on Twitter. Anyhow, Twitter Blue subscribers will get to edit their tweets first. Soon, subscribers in Australia, Canada and New Zealand will get the feature, followed by the US. Users will have 30 minutes after posting a tweet to edit it. Twitter did not reveal when every user will get to edit tweets. So we’ll just have to look enviously at premium service subscribers. Perhaps the pencil icon will supersede the blue checkmark as a sign of Twitter status.
