The “Edit Tweet” button on Twitter has been spotted in action, screenshots on the surface of the online feature

Amid disagreements between Twitter and Musk, popular mobile developer and reverse engineer Alessandro Paluzzi noticed the “edit” button on the platform. Earlier, Twitter announced that it was working on the ability to edit tweets, followed by Elon Musk, who conducted a poll on the platform with his account, which has over 80 million followers.

First, it’s important to know that the edit button can only be released to Twitter Blue users. Other than that, let’s discuss the edit button on Twitter. As can be seen from the screenshots shared by Paluzzi, users will have access to the tweet editing feature by clicking on the three-dot menu that appears in the tweet after it is posted. Once users click on it, the tweet will open in an editing space where users can make the necessary changes. Once done, users will be able to post tweets with an Update button.

As the feature is currently being developed, there is a good chance that Twitter will change the way it looks as it finalizes the feature and prepares it for launch. However, it seems that Twitter has a lot on its plate, processing an offer from the richest man in the world. Most recently, the platform released ALT badges and the ability to add image descriptions.

On April 8, 2022, the microblogging platform Twitter launched two new features that will allow users to see more information about the images on the platform. Called ALT badges and descriptions of displayed images, these features were released to 3% of Twitter users last month as a test. Keep reading to learn more about the new features of Twitter.

For the uninitiated, image descriptions help AI-based algorithms and systems understand the components of the image better. Adding a description to each image is important to increase its visibility and at the same time filter the image from forums where it is not required or may provoke hostility. Image descriptions are also useful for several news media agencies and fact-checking organizations.
