Twitter users have been asking for an edit button for years, and it looks like their wish will soon be granted. Earlier this month, Twitter confirmed that it was working on an edit button and that it would be made available to Twitter Blue subscribers in the coming months. Although Twitter didn't reveal much about the feature and how it works, we now have our first look at the edit button thanks to a leak.
Well-known reverse engineer Alessandro Paluzzi managed to get his hands on the upcoming edit button and shared some screenshots showing how the feature would look like when it rolls out to users.

After posting a tweet, users will be able to access the new "Edit Tweet" button in the three-dot menu. Clicking it brings up your original tweet. From there, you can make the necessary changes and hit the blue "Update" button to reflect the changes.
Separately, developer Nima Owji revealed additional details about the Edit Tweet button. A GIF shared by Owji showcases the whole tweet editing exercise. Owji says it's currently not possible to change a tweet's audience after it's posted — you can only change the text content.

It's unclear whether Twitter will allow users to edit just a small part of the tweet or the entire content. It's also unclear how many times a tweet can be edited and whether other users can see what has been changed and when. Likewise, we don't know how Twitter will handle retweets and quote tweets on edited tweets.
Twitter hasn't confirmed exactly when it plans to start testing the edit button. The feature will be part of Twitter Blue, a subscription service that offers features like un-tweeting, reader mode, bookmark folders, and more for a flat monthly fee.
