Twitter may be testing a tweet edit button, according to screenshot
Holy Kim Kardashian! Have The People’s Twitter prayers been answered?
According to ProPublica reporter Logan Jaffe, it looks like… wait for it… Twitter may be testing an EDIT BUTTON.
A tweet edit function is one of the most requested features on Twitter — requests that Twitter has steadfastly denied. In June, Kim Kardashian even lobbied Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey directly for the feature — making the most headway of anyone to date on the issue. Jack, is Kim responsible for this?
It’s worth noting that Jaffe’s screenshot comes from Tweetdeck — not Twitter dot com or the Twitter app itself. After being asked for more information, Jaffe tweeted a clarification that she was able to use the edit button, on Tweetdeck, to edit a tweet.
Ok: this is desktop tweetdeck. I edited a comma out of a tweet to test it and it worked. That’s all I know. Bye!

Mashable has reached out to Twitter to ask whether we can place our hopes and dreams in this apparition, or if this is a random fluke. We’ll update this story when and if we hear back.
In the meantime — for all you typo-makers, and tweet regret-havers out there — here’s hoping this lil’ button could be the real thing.
!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?
n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;
n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version=’2.0′;n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;
t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,
document,’script’,’https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/fbevents.js’);
fbq(‘init’, ‘1453039084979896’);
if (window.mashKit) {
mashKit.gdpr.trackerFactory(function() {
fbq(‘track’, “PageView”);
}).render();
}
