A lot more people will soon be able to do what was once unthinkable: edit tweets. Twitter has begun to roll out its new tweet-editing feature to Twitter Blue subscribers in the United States. The expansion follows a launch<\/ins><\/a> in Canada, New Zealand and Australia earlier this week.<\/p>\n

The feature<\/a> gives users a 30-minute window to make changes to their tweets. A version history is also available, so others \u2014 regardless of whether they subscribe to Twitter Blue \u2014 can see a record of all the changes that have been made.<\/p>\n

For now, the feature is part of Twitter\u2019s $4.99\/month subscription service, which also provides access to NFT profile photos and other specialized features. The company hasn\u2019t confirmed if the edit button will ever be available outside of Twitter Blue, though the feature is categorized as part of \u201cTwitter Blue Labs,\u201d and Twitter has previously said some \u201cLabs\u201d features will eventually be available more widely.<\/p>\n

Twitter first announced that it was working on the long-requested edit button back in April<\/ins><\/a>, following a poll from Elon Musk, who had recently become the company\u2019s largest shareholder. The company said its work on an edit button predated Musk\u2019s involvement with Twitter, which newly released text messages<\/ins><\/a> from Musk seemed to confirm. Interestingly, Musk\u2019s messages also revealed that he was not a fan<\/ins><\/a> (to put it mildly) of Twitter Blue, at least in its original form. No word yet on if he has the edit button.\u00a0<\/p>\n
