This is what the new edit button will look like on Twitter

The edit button on Twitter was born as an initiative by users as a "joke". However, during the last time, everything seems to indicate that it will become a reality.

The famous insider Jane Manchun Wong is famous for finding new features hidden in the code of applications. This time, it has revealed what the first look at this new capability integrated into Twitter will be like.

What will the “edit” button look like on Twitter?

Although further details have not yet been offered, being a complete unknown, it is one more step to please users. The edit button will not represent any difficulty to use. Rather, it is intuitive and strategically placed for user convenience.

In that sense, it will appear in the drop-down menu that is attached to the tweet that is published. By clicking on it, a small window will pop up with the new option already integrated.

The most striking premise of this fact is that it will not only be used for spelling errors. Broadly speaking, it will grant a better maneuverability, in every sense, to manipulate the published text.

For example, you can rewrite from the beginning, delete all parts of the publication or simply edit a small section. However, the platform will only grant each user a total period of 30 minutes to access this quality.

What happens after you use the edit button on Twitter?

The edit button on Twitter is one of the biggest requests from its users. However, many ignore the difficulty that this can entail in general. Above all, because the social network handles enormous information traffic in a matter of seconds or minutes.

As a result, a valid question arose and that is presented in those who are sensible. It raises how it will be possible for Twitter to notify when a tweet is edited. In other words, how will your followers know the precise moment you edited a post?

Given this, Jane Manchun Wong showed on her Twitter profile what a tweet will look like when it is modified. Although the changes are not clearly significant, it is worth getting to know them. That way, there will be no beginner confusion.

What you should appreciate with greater attention in the image is the lower part of the text. Specifically, it locates both the date and time of publication and, right next to it, a legend will be printed. In it, the demarcation "Edited" ( Edited ) will be appreciated without problems.

As long as this particularity is evident, the followers who come across the tweet will understand its edition. But what if you want to remember what was there before it was slightly changed? There is also a solution.

The “edit history” that Twitter will implement

With the arrival of the edit button for Twitter, the platform leaves no detail to chance. In addition to it, it will specify an editing history so that followers can check previous versions of the modified tweet.

Highlighting the legend “Edited” mentioned above, the user will be able to click on it. Instantly, a window with the history for that publication will appear, showing what its versions have been over time.

According to Jane Wong, Twitter assigns a unique ID to each tweet, so it never gets lost. On the contrary, it will contribute to its rapid location, storage and compilation in this kind of history.

And what if a new version of the tweet I'm reading already exists?

As a bonus, the edit history won't be the only thing that comes along with the Twitter edit button. Jane Wong was also in charge of demonstrating how an old tweet of which there is a more updated version will be displayed.

As expressed in the image, Twitter will clarify when there is a new version of the Tweet. The notice will be located just below the text, so the user will not be able to go unnoticed.

Indeed, it is another small trifle that Twitter has planned and, at the moment, is working on. Although there is still no exact release date for the edit button, it is already a reality. Everything seems to indicate that, progressively, the platform will give a
