Months after launching its long-awaited edit button, Twitter is now increasing the window to edit tweets for Twitter Blue subscribers. Twitter Blue premium users will now have the ability to make changes in the original tweets only, and not replies within one hour of posting instead of the previously allowed 30 minutes.

Elon Musk-owned Twitter made announced on the micro-blogging platform that Blue subscribers will now have up to one hour to edit their tweets.

"Blue subscribers now have up to 1 hour to edit their Tweets," the official Twitter Blue account tweeted on Tuesday.

Twitter's support page for Blue was updated shortly after the post went up to reflect the new one-hour time limit to edit original posts.

"This highly requested feature gives you a 1-hour window to make a limited number of changes to published Tweets. Use it to make updates, tag someone, or reorder the media you attached. Edit Tweet currently only applies to original Tweets and quote Tweets," the support page mentioned.

The edit tweet feature was originally introduced in October last year and was limited to only 30 minutes.

This announcement comes after Linda Yaccarino, the newly appointed Chief Executive Officer of Twitter's first day at the micro-blogging company. She officially assumed her position at the popular social media platform. In a recent tweet on Monday, she excitedly announced her first day on the job, following her appointment by Elon Musk approximately one month ago. Yaccarino's tweet was brief but filled with enthusiasm, as she exclaimed, "It happened — first day in the books!"

Tech billionaire Musk, who assumed the role of CEO following his acquisition of Twitter for a staggering $44 billion in October of the previous year, expressed his confidence in Yaccarino's ability to transform Twitter into an "everything app." This ambitious vision suggests a comprehensive revamp of the platform to incorporate a wide array of features and functionalities.
