Twitter Blue Announced Subscribers Now Have Up to 1 Hour to Edit Their Tweets
Twitter has rolled out a new feature for its Blue subscribers, allowing them to edit their tweets within an hour after posting. The move represents a significant shift in Twitter’s policies, which previously disallowed any modification of tweets after publication.
This change comes as part of the benefits of the Twitter Blue subscription, the platform’s premium service tier. With this enhancement, Blue subscribers can now rectify any errors, typos, or updates in their tweets within a generous 60-minute window.
In a statement, Twitter said, “We listened to the needs of our users, and we’re excited to introduce this feature for Twitter Blue subscribers. We believe this will enhance the user experience by giving people more control over their content.”
Critics have raised concerns over the potential misuse of this feature, fearing it may allow users to alter their tweets significantly after gaining traction or causing controversy. However, Twitter has reassured users that there will be safeguards to prevent such misuse. The details of these safeguards are yet to be disclosed.
Twitter Blue is a premium subscription service launched by Twitter to provide users with exclusive features and enhancements. This latest move is seen as another attempt by the company to attract more users to its subscription service.
The rollout of this feature has started and will gradually be available to all Twitter Blue subscribers worldwide. It remains to be seen how this change will impact the dynamics of conversations and engagements on the popular social media platform.
