According to the report, Twitter announced today that it will roll out a much-anticipated new feature for paying users in the next few weeks, the “edit” button. For years, Twitter users have been asking Twitter to add a feature that would allow editing of posted tweets (Twitter messages) to fix errors such as spelling mistakes.
But Twitter seems to be shrugging it off, and despite rolling out a slew of new products, such as a newsletter, it hasn’t satisfied users’ desire to modify their tweets.

Today, Twitter finally announced that it will be rolling out the “Edit” button for the first time, but only for paid users. Twitter said it would roll out an “edit” button in the coming weeks to its $4.99-a-month “Twitter Blue” subscription, allowing them to edit a tweet several times within 30 minutes of posting it.
For “edited” tweets, Twitter will add a tag that others on Twitter can click to view previous versions of the tweet. Before that, almost every other social media platform, including Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, and Pinterest, among others, allowed users to edit their published content.
When asked if the “edit” button would eventually be available to all Twitter users, a Twitter spokeswoman said Twitter was testing the feature to anticipate some of the problems that might arise when it was made available to all users.
