The ‘Edit Tweet’ feature introduced by Twitter has been in the news for a while. While there are concerns about the nature of the ‘Edit Tweet’ button, it appears the new feature could leave a digital trail of your tweet history.
According to The Verge, the editing function appears to have an ‘immutable’ quality, meaning that Twitter can create a brand new tweet when a tweet is edited, while preserving previous versions of that tweet.
“It seems that Twitter’s Edit Tweet approach is immutable, because instead of changing the Tweet text in the same Tweet, it recreates a new Tweet with the modified content, along with a list of previous old Tweets. when editing that,” said developer Manchun Wong.
App researcher Alessandro Paluzzi also tweeted out a screenshot of the new edit button, teasing us about how the feature might look when it hits Twitter. In a screenshot, Paluzzi shows how an ‘Edit Tweet’ option might appear in the three-dot menu to the right of your tweet.
It is unknown whether the tweet history will appear exclusively to the user or it will be made public for others to see.
