Twitter’s upcoming edit button could leave a digital trace of your tweet’s history, according to reverse engineer Jane Manchun Wong

Twitter’s edit function appears to have an’immutable’ quality. Twitter may create an entirely new Tweet when one is edited.

Instead of mutating the Tweet text within the same Tweet (same ID), it re-creates a new Tweet with the amended content.

Twitter’s approach to edit Tweet is immutable. Instead of mutating the Tweet text within the same tweet, it re-creates a new Tweet with the amended content.

If Twitter decides to make Tweet history public, it could be a way to address concerns over potential abuse of the feature. Some critics believe the feature could be used to alter the public record and mislead users.

App researcher Alessandro paluzzi tweeted what appear to be screenshots of the new feature. The’edit Tweet’ option could appear in the three-dot menu on the right side of your tweets.

Choosing the button leads you to a screen that looks like the regular Tweet composer, only it’s pre-filled with your Tweet’s text. paluzzi’s screenshots do n’t show an option to view a Tweet’s edit history, however.

Twitter has yet to confirm the presence of a Tweet history tracker.’nothing else to share at the moment beyond what is in this tweet from @ @ jaysullivan, VP of consumer product,’ Twitter spokesperson Anna hubatsch said.
