All thanks to a known reverse engineer Alessandro Paluzzi, who managed to get their hands on the edit button.

You can check out Paluzzi’s tweet below.
— Alessandro Paluzzi (@alex193a) April 15, 2022 After publishing a tweet, users will be able to access the edit button from the three-dot menu. It will be titled “Edit Tweet” and from there, you can just go ahead and edit the tweet as per your requirements.

We are also not sure if Twitter will let the users change just a part of the tweer or the entire content. We are also not sure just how many times will the user be able to use the Twitter edit button. Similarly, we are not sure whether Twitter is going to handle retweets and quote retweets on edited tweets. The company has not confirmed when the feature is going to roll out; the Twitter edit button will be a part of Twitter Blue, and we are not sure if the company plans on releasing the feature to everyone else.
