Paid Users and Tweet Editing

After years of anticipation, Twitter rolled out the edit button for paid users last September. At the time, the company said users could modify their tweets five times within the time limit.

Social media consultant Matt Navarra spotted that the company was testing 1-hour long limit for editing tweets earlier this week.

Undo Tweet Function

Notably, Twitter Blue users can still use the undo tweet function, which allows them to cancel posting within 30 seconds of clicking the send button.

Elon Musk’s Management

Under Elon Musk’s management, Twitter has increased limits for many features to push creators to post on the platform more. In February, the social media company introduced 4,000-character tweets for paid users. In April, that limit was increased to 10,000 characters.

Twitter also introduced the ability to upload 60-minute-long videos for Blue users in December. Last month, the company changed its terms to allow two-hour-long video uploads for paid users.

New CEO

This is the company’s first announcement after former NBCU executive Linda Yaccarino officially took over the CEO job earlier this week on Monday.
