Twitter launching edit button would be a ‘mistake’, former executive warns

Twitter has said it is working on introducing an edit function (PA)

Twitter users have been warned to be “careful what you wish for” in the wake of the platform confirming it is working on a much-requested edit tweet function.

The social media giant said the ability to edit tweets after they have been posted has been in development since last year and testing of the function will begin in the coming months.
