In the coming weeks some Twitter users will be able to edit tweets. Twitter users have been begging for years for the incorporation of this possibility, and as Twitter has confirmed in its official account, the function of editing tweets is already here (but not for everyone) . Here we tell you all about the function that will revolutionize the platform after the incorporation of the Circles.
As we mentioned at the beginning, Twitter has confirmed in its official account that it is testing the function . What’s more, from what they suggest in the tweet (which you can see under this heading), there are already users who have this tool and edited tweets. So, if you come across an edited tweet icon, it’s not because of a bug on your phone, it’s because the edit tweets feature is already here. There is no set release date, but it will arrive in the coming weeks, as Twitter said on its blog .
But how will tweet editing work? After posting a tweet, it will be possible to edit it for the next 30 minutes. An edit button will be incorporated into the tweet, which we must press to modify it. The edited tweets will appear with an icon that will distinguish that they have been edited. On the other hand, other users will be able to access the history of the tweet to see the previous versions of it. Of course, not all users will be able to edit tweets.
WHO CAN NOW EDIT THEIR TWEETS ON TWITTER
Initially not all users will be able to edit their tweets. So who can do it? Twitter Blue users will be the ones who can already edit their tweets on Twitter when this feature is established. But what is Twitter Blue? Twitter Blue is a premium Twitter service accessible for a fee. It is only available in New Zealand, the US, Australia and Canada, so it has not yet arrived in Spain. Its price varies by region.
The benefits offered by Twitter Blue include, among other things, priority access to new features. Other advantages of Twitter Blue is that it allows you to change the theme and color of the app icon. As for its most functional advantages, it allows you to group tweets in bookmark folders and use the reader mode for a more comfortable view of the timeline. This improved version of Twitter has an official account on the platform where it reports its news. That said, we still don’t know when we’ll be able to say that the edit tweets feature is here for non-paying users.
