SAN FRANCISCO, United States — Twitter on
Monday said a feature to edit tweets is being rolled out to those subscribing
to its Blue service in Australia,
Canada, and New Zealand.

The long-awaited editing tool test “went well,” so
it is being made more widely available, the San Francisco based tech firm said
in a tweet, adding that it is “coming soon” to the US.
“Edit Tweet is a feature that lets people make
changes to their Tweet after it’s been published,” the company said on its
blog. “Think of it as a short period of time to do things like fix typos, add
missed tags, and more.”
The tool will let users edit a tweet up to five
times within 30 minutes of initially posting, Twitter said.
An icon looking like a slanted pen or pencil will
indicate that a tweet has been edited, and a “version history” will be
available to show what was changed, Twitter said.
Twitter Blue subscriptions are priced at $5 monthly,
according to the company’s website.

Elon Musk, who is locked in a
lawsuit with Twitter over his effort to break his $44 billion deal to buy the
global social media site, had backed an edit button shortly before the company
said in April it was studying the change.
Users of Twitter Blue — the subscription offering
now available in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand —
“receive early access to features and help us test them before they come to
Twitter,” the company said.
An aim of the tweak is that “Tweeting will feel more
approachable and less stressful,” Twitter said while testing the feature.
