More than a decade and a half into its existence, Twitter has confirmed what was once unthinkable: an edit button is on the way.

Screenshots of an in-progress Twitter edit button show what the much-requested feature may look like. It's still early though, as the feature doesn't work yet.

After asking for an edit button for 15 years and receiving roundabout answers from Twitter, users were skeptical.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced today that Threads, Instagram's Twitter-like app, is rolling out an edit button.

Twitter code-breaker Jane Manchun Wong has pulled back the curtain on Twitter’s unreleased edit button.

That makes the edit button perhaps the biggest shift at the social media service since 2017, when Twitter increased the character limit for messages to 280 from 140.
