Twitter has announced that it is working on the Tweet edit button, which has been requested by users for a long time, even being frequently on the agenda on social media, and which was brought to the fore by Elon Musk, who bought 9.2 percent of the company’s shares.
Will Twitter impose privileges on Elon Musk? Description has arrived
Will Elon Musk, who has become the largest shareholder of the platform by buying Twitter shares, be privileged? Here’s the latest on Twitter.
Finally comes the Tweet edit button!
Twitter has announced that it is working on a Tweet edit button that will allow users to edit their tweets after sharing. Thanks to this feature, which has been requested by users for a long time, you will no longer have to remove and re-share tweets that you made a typo or you want to edit a certain part of.
The company said in a statement today night:
now everyone is asking…
yes, we’ve been working on an editing feature since last year!
no, we didn’t get the idea from a survey 🙂
We’re launching tests at @TwitterBlue Labs in the coming months to find out what works, what doesn’t, and what’s possible.
Although it is a great request by users, former CEO of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, stated that he was reluctant to add such a feature during his speeches in the past. Because a shared Tweet expressed that he was worried that if it was changed (if it could all be changed) after reaching large audiences, its meaning could be spoiled. For this reason, the “When will you bring this feature?” He replied “probably never” to questions such as:
Of course, over time, many platforms such as Facebook and Instagram have positively evaluated this feedback from users and activated the edit buttons. Moreover, this situation has not caused a negative situation as Dorsey was worried until now.
Of course, the company actually said last April 1 that they were working on an edit button. But it was thought that he shared it as an April 1 joke. However, Twitter product manager Michael Sayman later referred to this tweet as the company’s “official statement” regarding the feature.
As of today, Elon Musk, who holds 9.2 percent of the company’s shares, has previously published a survey asking users whether they want this feature to come. Here, too, the result was mostly desired. However, Twitter said in a statement today that this feature did not come due to the survey, and that they even started developing it 1 year ago.
