How to Use the Tweet Editing Feature? [Video]

Twitter, which has become the number one agenda of the internet world with the purchase move of Elon Musk, has also been talked about a lot with the announcement of the highly desired tweet editing feature. The feature, which has been wanted for years but never brought, is now official. In the near future, all Twitter users will have the opportunity to edit a post they have made. Now we are here with new developments regarding this upcoming feature.

Jane Manchun Wong, who announced the innovations early with her studies on codes, revealed how the new feature that will come to Twitter will look. The shared screenshots and video reveal that a new button titled “Edit Tweet” will be added to the tweet drop-down menu and edits will be made with this button. However, this feature seems to have some limitations.

The edit button will only be available for the first 30 minutes

The information revealed by Jane Manchun Wong revealed that tweet edits can only be made for the first 30 minutes. In other words, you will not be able to edit a post you made after a few days. However, it should be said that there are no limitations on the arrangements you can make.

So much so that you can rewrite a tweet within the scope of editing. Video, GIF and photos can also be edited as desired. In addition, a small note for an edited tweet will also be shared with the followers. According to the information obtained, the tweet editing feature will also show the update history.

Revealing screenshots of the upcoming feature on Twitter, Jane Manchun Wong states that this feature has some issues. For example, in some cases, the format of the image used in the tweet changes. In addition, Wong states that the images are reloaded and that this is quite inefficient.

However, it should be noted that the Edit Tweet button is still under development. As such, the team is doing its best to optimize the feature and will continue to do so. So the problems Wong mentioned may be solved in the future.
