Twitter announced it is finally testing out an edit button after years of users requesting the feature.
The social media giant has announced it will roll out an editing feature to subscribers of its premium Twitter Blue service later this month.
In a Thursday blog post, the company said edited tweets are being tested internally and that the feature would expand to subscribers of its paid Twitter Blue service later this month.
“If you see an edited Tweet it’s because we’re testing the edit button,” the social media platform’s account wrote. “This is happening and you’ll be okay.”
The test will first roll out to Twitter Blue subscribers in New Zealand, with Australia, Canada and the US to follow, according to the company.
Users outside the test group will also be able to see edited tweets on the platform.
Twitter has been promising an edit button for some time but had previously stayed just a promise.
Earlier this year, Elon Musk gained support for his purchase of Twitter by promising to implement the long-awaited edit button alongside loosening Twitter’s moderation policies.
However, that purchase was placed “on hold” in May after Musk demanded verification of Twitter’s total bot and spam user accounts.
