New Delhi: Twitter is set to roll out its much-anticipated Edit Tweet feature on September 21, which will first be available to its Blue subscribers who pay $4.99 per month. The Edit Tweet feature lets people make changes to their Tweets after they’ve been published.
Edited Tweets will appear with an icon, timestamp and label to make it clear to readers that the original Tweet has been modified. Tapping on the label will take viewers to the Tweet’s edit history, which includes previous versions of the Tweet. ,Also read: OMG!

Twitter users have been asking for an edit button for years to fix typos and grammatical errors. Earlier this month, Twitter announced a small test for the Edit Tweet feature, first with an internal team, before rolling out the feature to the public.
“Think of it as less time to fix typos, add missed tags, and more,” Twitter said. Twitter said it is intentionally testing Edit Tweet with a small group to see how people might abuse the feature.
The test will first be localized to a single country and expand as “we learn and see how people use Edit Tweet”. Tweets,” according to the company.
