Twitter Is Working on That Edit Button You Begged for

A vocal subset of users on the micro-messaging service have been begging for the company to allow them to fix their spelling and other errors after they've hit their account. We've been working on an edit feature since last year, but we didn't get the idea from a poll.

Everyone is asking about an edit button because of Musk. He asked his 80 million followers on the social network if they wanted to change their post-posting habits. The poll is active. In a reply to a YouTuber, Musk expressed his support for the feature.

The CEO seemed to endorse Musk's query. The consequences of Musk's poll will be important. Please vote with care.

One of the richest men in the world bought a 9.2% stake in the social networking site. He has been appointed to the company's board through 2024 after becoming its largest shareholder. Changes to the social network are promised by him.

Critics have argued that the creation of an edit button would be against the best interests of the community. Andrew Bosworth, the CTO of Meta, responded to the possibility of changed meanings in a post on Tuesday: "We solved this on Facebook a long time ago." An indicator that it has been edited along with a change log is what you include. They can point to a specific revision in the history, but with a link to the latest edit. Meta has grappled with the proliferation of misinformation on its social networks.
