After much chatter about the future ownership structure of Twitter, the blue canary has begun to interest again for other gossip, those relating to some interesting features expected at the launch, including tweet editing.
Meanwhile, Elon Musk’s proposal to buy 100% of Twitter to remove it from the stock market continues to be discussed, offering 46.5 billion dollars (almost half of which of personal assets), the blue canary’s social network has attracted attention for several important rumors relating to functions that could make their debut.
Twitter often introduces improvements. Not all of them succeed, just think of the Fleets, the ad hoc version of the Stories, removed after a not warm reception from the public. However, some of the innovations that the platform is working on could have greater appeal, brought to light by the activity of the leakers. Among these, there is the function to update the status, similar to the Status of the Instagram Threads app, which has already emerged several times in the past.
According (also) to leaker Jane Manchun Wong, Twitter is still working on the feature, now known as Vibes, as demonstrated by the fact that screenshots have been extracted that, inside the tweet composition editor, show the function to set a status, with several options available, including “Eat yummy ramen”, “Lurking Twitter”, “Driving Highway”, etc. At the moment, however, it is not yet clear how the post would look once published in the Timeline.
Thanks to the leaker Alessandro Paluzzi, on the other hand, some developments have been learned for the tweet editing function, destined to debut first for subscribers of the Blue plan. Apparently, the tweets will only be re-editable for an hour after publication (thus excluding changes on older ones) and, once edited, an indication will appear, “edited”, with a small pencil, or just the a pencil icon, next to the time and date. Tapping on these elements will open the history of changes, allowing you to go back to what the original tweet was like before the reworkings.
At the moment, of course, it is difficult to hypothesize when these functions will officially debut, even if, at least for the tweet modification, there now seems to be no doubt that the relative launch will actually take place.
