Twitter recently tested a feature that allows users to edit tweets; this feature is now available, but not in all regions.
Twitter Blue subscribers in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand can currently use this feature. The feature will be available in the United States soon, but no word on whether it will be available to those who do not subscribe to Twitter Blue. It may eventually get there, but for the time being, it will be a bonus to the subscription service.
test went well, Edit Tweet is now rolling out to Twitter Blue members in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand!

Interestingly, every edited tweet has a version history, so you can see exactly what’s changed. It has taken Twitter a long time to introduce this feature, which has long been a feature of many other social media platforms – it may simply be a case of ‘better late than never.’
