Welp, folks. Many of you have asked for it and, now, it seems it may finally be coming.
Twitter is officially moving forward with testing an edit button feature. We’ve known for a while they’ve been working on this for a while now, but it seems they’re actually starting to implement it a bit.
On Friday, the official Twitter account of…Twitter sent out a post letting users know that if they see a tweet out there that has been edited they should not be alarmed. It is not fake.
It’s just part of an edit button test they’re doing with some users.
if you see an edited Tweet it's because we're testing the edit button
this is happening and you'll be okay

Fortunately for us, some of the answers are out there. So let’s dive into what they are as well as the general good and bad that comes with an edit button.
