Tech giant says will soon start experimenting with an edit button, but only on its monthly subscription service first. Twitter has announced it will soon start experimenting with an edit button, a long-pending demand of users, but only on its monthly subscription service at first. The inability to tweak tweets after firing them off has been a key complaint among users of the one-to-many messaging platform. Word that the company would start testing an edit feature on Twitter Blue came after newly named board member Elon Musk conducted an online poll. In a tweet, Musk asked if people wanted an edit button on Twitter. Nearly 4.4 million votes were cast, some 73 percent of them saying “yes”. “Now that everyone is asking … yes, we’ve been working on an edit feature since last year,” Twitter posted on its communications account. “No, we didn’t get the idea from a poll,” it added, poking fun at the Tesla boss. According to Jay Sullivan, the company’s head of consumer product, “edit” has been the most requested Twitter feature “for many years”. “People want to be able to fix (sometimes embarrassing) mistakes, typos and hot takes in the moment. They currently work around this by deleting and tweeting again,” Sullivan said in a tweet thread.
