Twitter Blue Users Can Now Edit Tweets In These Countries
The 'Edit Tweet' feature will soon roll out to the US. No word on India rollout yet.
After thorough testing, microblogging platform Twitter has confirmed that it is rolling out its 'Edit Tweet' feature for users in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand and will soon come to the US. The company said that the feature is for Twitter Blue users. However, it did not mention the feature's availability for Indian audiences.
"Test went well, Edit Tweet is now rolling out to Twitter Blue members in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand," according to a tweet by Twitter Blue.

The microblogging platform mentioned that a version history will be available on every edited Tweet, so users know what changed.

Last month, Twitter showcased the feature on its own platform by tweaking one of its tweets that showed 'Last Edited' at the bottom of the post.
Twitter edited a tweet and once clicked on "Last edited," people can see the original tweet and the previous edit history.
Twitter Blue subscriptions are paid on a monthly basis, and priced regionally based on the current US price of $4.99.
In other Twitter-related news, the platform is facing trouble over accounts posting child pornographic content. Prominent brands such as Dyson, Forbes, Mazda, and PBS Kids have suspended their marketing campaign on Twitter because their advertisements appeared alongside tweets soliciting child pornography.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who dropped his $44-billion takeover plan of Twitter, reacted to the brand’s response to child pornography on the platform. Meanwhile, the Delhi Police has blocked several accounts on Twitter over child pornography.
Brands such as Walt Disney, NBC Universal, Coca-Cola, and even a children’s hospital were among more than 30 advertisers that appeared on the profile pages of Twitter accounts peddling links to the exploitative material, according to a Reuters review of accounts identified in new research about child sex abuse online from cybersecurity group Ghost Data.
Some of the tweets include keywords related to "rape" and "teens," and appeared alongside promoted tweets from corporate advertisers, the review found. In one example, a promoted tweet for shoe and accessories brand Cole Haan appeared next to a tweet where a user said they were "trading teen/child" content.
