Twitter’s new ‘Edit Tweet’ tool has been making headlines for quite some time. While there were concerns about the ‘Edit Tweet’ button’s nature, it appears that the new tool may leave a digital trail of your tweet’s history.
According to The Verge, the edit tool appears to have an ‘immutable’ quality, which means that when a tweet is edited, Twitter may create a totally new tweet while keeping prior versions.
“It appears that Twitter’s Modification Tweet technique is immutable,” developer Manchun Wong said. “Rather of changing the Tweet text within the same Tweet, it re-creates a new Tweet with the corrected content, along with a list of the old Tweets prior to that edit.”
Alessandro Paluzzi, an app researcher, also shared screenshots of the new edit button, teasing us with how the feature might look once it’s live on Twitter.
Paluzzi demonstrates how the ‘Edit Tweet’ option might appear in the three-dot menu on the right side of your tweets in one screenshot. It’s unclear whether the users’ tweet history would be visible only to them or if it will be visible to everyone.
