Renowned reverse engineer Alessandro Paluzzi managed to grab the upcoming edit button and shared some screenshots showing what the function would look like when released to users. #Twitter is working on the edit button 👀 pic.twitter.com/684nQ5bhnF – Alessandro Paluzzi (@ alex193a) April 15, 2022 After posting a tweet, users will be able to access the new “Edit Tweet” button from the three-dot menu. Clicking on it displays your original tweet. From there, you can make the necessary changes and press the blue “Update” button to reflect the changes. Separately, developer Nima Owji has revealed additional details about the Edit Tweet button. A GIF shared by Owji shows the whole process of editing a tweet. Owji says it is currently not possible to change the audience of a tweet after it has been published – you can only edit the text content. I recorded a GIF from the upcoming # Twitter’s Edit Button! pic.twitter.com/FPIRzzjUAF – Nima Owji (@nima_owji) April 16, 2022 It is not clear whether Twitter will allow users to change only a small part of the tweet or the entire content. It is also not clear how many times a tweet could be edited and if other users could see what changed and when. Similarly, we do not know how Twitter will handle retweets and quotes tweets in edited tweets. Twitter has not confirmed exactly when it intends to start testing the edit button. The feature will be part of Twitter Blue, a subscription service that offers features such as the ability to undo tweets, the Reader feature, bookmarks, etc., for a fixed monthly fee.
