The long wait for an edit button..
Apparently it had been one of the most requested features from Twitter users. The edit button. Facebook , Instagram and other social media platforms have the feature though Twitter has kinda been skeptical in doing the same.

At some point in time, for those bonafide Blue App Users, one has sent a tweet perhaps with a typing error or forgot out some key point. Now that is almost over.
The feature is expected to be on trial in the coming months on Twitter Blue.
