Twitter’s highly requested edit feature is officially happening
Social media giant Twitter is officially working on an edit button (finally)
Social media giant Twitter has announced it is working on an edit button.
There have long been calls for the app to feature a button that would allow users to edit tweets.
Twitter says it is testing the new feature within its “Twitter Blue Labs” programme, to “learn what works, what doesn’t and what is possible”
Either a coincidence or simply a reality, Elon Musk, who recently acquired a majority stake in Twitter, recently asked his followers if they would like to see an edit button feature on the platform.
Not surprisingly, pretty much everyone was in favour of the feature, which is hoped will be able to provide users with the ability to edit their tweets after they click publish.
Meanwhile, if you missed it, Billionaire Elon Musk has officially joined Twitter’s board of directors
The announcement by the tech company comes a day after it was revealed the Tesla CEO took a 9 per cent stake in Twitter.
Twitter says that it entered into an agreement with Mr Musk that would give the billionaire a seat on its board, with the term expiring at its 2024 annual shareholders meeting.
Mr Musk, either alone or as a member of a group – will not be allowed to own more than 14.9 per cent of the social media company’s outstanding stock for as long as he’s a board member, and then for an additional 90 days after.
Therefore this appointment effectively ends the possibility of Musk mounting a takeover of Twitter.
