TWITTER has announced the app will experiment with an edit button starting today.

Tweets that have been edited are marked with a tag indicating when they were last altered.

“If you see an edited Tweet it’s because we’re testing the edit button,” the official Twitter account shared this morning.

A company blog explained that tweets can be edited to “fix typos, add missed tags, and more.”

Users will be able to edit posts “a few times” within 30 minutes of sharing tweets with their followers.

The blog noted that a small group has been chosen to test the feature in its early days.

The company will monitor how the feature is used or misused.

Twitter Blue subscribers will be the first users to access the new feature after the test round.

Twitter’s blog says the expansion of the edit feature to Twitter Blue subscribers will happen “later this month.”

Twitter Blue users “localized to a single country” will be part of the testing phase.

Users who come upon edited tweets will be able to view the post’s history of changes.
