What was speculated as a joke earlier has turned out to be true. Twitter has officially acknowledged that it is working on an edit button that will be released soon to Twitter Blue subscribers for testing.

Twitter has officially announced that it is working on a feature that will allow users to edit their tweets after posting them. The edit feature will let users fix typos or errors in tweets without losing already-accrued retweets, replies, or likes, as per reports. The feature will be released to Twitter Blue subscribers as a part of testing in the coming months.

“Yes, we’ve been working on an edit feature since last year! No, we didn’t get the idea from a poll! We're kicking off testing within @TwitterBlue Labs in the coming months to learn what works, what doesn’t, and what’s possible,” announced Twitter.
