Did you know that you can edit tweets on Twitter? But only for an hour after you send the tweet and only if you have Twitter Blue.

Here’s how editing a tweet on Twitter works.

How to Edit a Tweet

You’ve written the tweet. You hit send. You have regrets. Now what?

If you have a Twitter Blue subscription, your tweet doesn’t actually go live immediately—you have a default time limit of 30 seconds to undo it by navigating to the tweet on your profile page and selecting the blue Undo button. You can also bypass the timer and send the tweet immediately by tapping the Send Now button.

But if you missed the window to undo a tweet, you can still edit it for the next hour.

To edit a tweet, follow these steps:

  1. Select the tweet you want to edit.
  2. Select the stacked dots icon in the upper right corner to open the menu of interactions for that tweet.
  3. The bottom option is Edit Tweet. Select that, then, go ahead and change whatever you want and select the blue Update button in the upper right.

Editing a published tweet

Before the tweet goes live, you’ll have the opportunity to reread it and change it before publishing the edited version. Once you confirm it, the edit goes live, giving you a confirmation note. Be aware that edited tweets come with a public label saying that the tweet has been edited.

Can You Edit a Tweet on Twitter More Than Once?

Once a tweet has been edited, you can actually go back and edit it again. However, that edited label keeps track of the most recent edit. So don’t try anything sneaky.

There’s one more little quirk about this feature. If you post a tweet using a browser, you can’t edit it in the app and vice versa. But, if you make a tweet in a browser app on a smartphone, you can edit it using your desktop browser too.

How Much Would You Pay to Edit a Tweet?

Twitter Blue comes with a lot of features. For some people with thumbs quicker than their eyes, the edit option may be enough to justify the cost. It does come with a tag, and after an hour, you’ll have to just delete tweets like everyone else. But, the ability to edit tweets certainly comes in handy.
