JAKARTA - After Canada, Australia and New Zealand, Twitter finally launched the Edit Tweet feature for Twitter Blue users in the United States (US).

With this option, users can edit tweet content after it is published. This means that users no longer need to delete and repost tweets because they are mistyped.

The company is gradually now launching a Tweet Edit to all US users who have subscribed to Twitter Blue. Unfortunately, it is not known for sure when Indonesian users can try this feature.

However, Twitter and its observers have debated whether allowing tweets to be edited could cause harmful effects, such as the spread of misinformation.

Last month, Twitter said that the company took the time to get new features right, as quoted from 9to5Mac, Friday, October 7.

The microblogging social network will now pay attention to how people use the Edit Tweet feature and its impact on the way users read and write tweets before making the feature available to everyone.

Previously, Twitter Blue users had access to a feature that held tweets for up to a minute, which users could review tweets and cancel them before they were published.

Now, with the Edit Tweet feature coming, customers who pay $4.99 equivalent to IDR 76 thousand per month for Twitter Blue will be able to edit their tweets five times within 30 minutes of publication.

Edited Tweets will have icons and timestamps to display when the last post is edited. Users can click edited tweet labels to view edit history and previous post version.
