Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Twitter announced it\u2019s testing an edit button, an idea former CEO Jack Dorsey had originally resisted fearing the spread of misinformation if tweets were altered after being widely shared, according to The Hustle.<\/p>\n

A common Twitter gripe has been that the only way to fix a typo is to delete and repost, which is frustrating if it\u2019s already going viral or spurring conversation.<\/p>\n

Twitter\u2019s edit button will roll out among Twitter Blue subscribers, who get early access to features, later this month. It\u2019s unclear when the rest of the world will get it.<\/p>\n

i). Changes can be made only 30 minutes after posting the OG tweet<\/p>\n

ii). An icon, time stamp, and label will show it\u2019s been edited<\/p>\n

iii). Tapping the label will show the edit history<\/p>\n

The move aligns Twitter with other platforms. Facebook\u2019s edit button came in 2013. Reddit lets you edit posts, but not titles. Youtube? Edit to your heart\u2019s content.<\/p>\n

In 2020, Dorsey said Twitter was different in that it began as an SMS platform. Because you couldn\u2019t recall texts, Twitter should maintain that \u201cvibe.\u201d<\/p>\n

But that vibe is fading. Apple announced that, with iOS 16, users will be able to recall iMessages.<\/p>\n

The rollout will be gradual, starting with internal testing for Twitter employees. Twitter Blue subscribers will go next and eventually everyone will be able to edit tweets, although the company didn\u2019t say when.<\/p>\n
