Edit Tweet Option Expands to Twitter Blue Subscribers in the United States

[MacRumors]

Twitter today announced that Twitter Blue subscribers in the United States now have access to the edit tweet feature that has been in testing for the last month.

Earlier this week, Twitter provided an edit button to Twitter Blue users in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand and promised a U.S. expansion, which has come quicker than expected.

The "Edit Tweet" button can be found alongside the the already available Delete Tweet, Pin to Profile, Change who can reply, and Add/remove from Lists options.

Tweets can be edited for up to 30 minutes after being sent, and tweets that have been changed are denoted with an "Edited" tag. Twitter provides a history of tweet edits, so the original tweet can continue to be viewed.

Twitter Blue is priced at $4.99 per month in the U.S. and it provides access to ad-free articles, various customization options, a bookmarks folder, an undo tweet option, early access to new Twitter features, and more.

The price of $2.99 per month is a joke. This feature should be free if not at least start the pricing at $0.99. The biggest problem Twitter is facing is dealing with the bots. It's not worth it if they are still there even after paying $2.99.

It's showing $4.99 a month for me.

Cool! I’ll be sure not to make an account and avoid using this awesome feature.

One thing I haven't seen answered is when a tweet is edited, does it lose all the likes/retweets?

So example if someone tweets something that immediately goes viral and Twitter's algorithm shows it all over the place, if they then edit that tweet to say something completely different will the edited tweet have the same value to the algorithm as the original and continue to be shown everywhere?

Heard they were raising it. I’m assuming this one new edit feature will not be enough to justify a $2 increase.

Tweet edit history makes the feature useless.

 

[max2]

It should be $0

I get that Twitter is a business, but allowing people to fix their typos and grammar seems like a bizarre thing to monetize. Granted, a lot of people don't *know* they are misspelling things, and so goes social media in general - but creating an overall higher-quality and more respectable platform would seem to be a beneficial thing for attracting users and meaningful interaction alike. Win-win. For $5 a month I'd rather just delete my original tweet and retype it correctly.

I know you can only edit for 30 minutes and edited tweets are shown as such.

But can you have fun with knee jerk reactions, by saying something all fluffy and nice, then changing to an abomination? Bonus points it if affects retweets!

Imagine using Twitter.

 

[ratspg]

Doesn't Twitter show lots of ads? They want to charge for these features? lol.

 

[Corsig]

Doesn’t matter. Thought once musk buys twitter you weren’t using it anymore

 

[6787872]

twitter is such a failed product that this is considered revolutionary?

can't wait to see twitter burn to ashes after musk has his hands on it

 

[dumastudetto]

These revolutionary new features could really take Twitter to another level. I'm pumped to start editing.

 

[max2]

This is the best feature sense slice bread!

 

[DocMultimedia]

It's an ugly future for Twitter if they think this will bring in the money. Unless of course there are that many foolish bots.

 

[ProfessionalFan]

Yep, we've heard that before from the same people, my guess is the majority of them will be there still.

Mac rumour of the year binary and non binary people.

 

[jamesrick80]

Who would pay for Twitter lol?

 

[The Clark]

Twitter is a CESSPOOL of unadulterated takes that should never make it past the draft stage.

 

[kiensoy]

Who would pay for Twitter lol?

Companies and celebrities. It makes sense for them to edit tweets too. Regular people can just delete the tweet with the typo and write a new one. For people who have lots of followers, deleting a tweet can be an issue.
