La red social Twitter will keep a history in which each of the changes that have been made in the modified tweets after they have been published.

The company announced a few days ago that it was working on a post editing toolone of the most requested requests by users in recent years.

He indicated that one of his priorities was to protect the integrity of public conversations to prevent its misuse, that it would launch it “in the coming months” and that it would start testing it on Twitter Blue.

A few days ago, the developer expert in reverse engineering Alessandro Paluzzi located a button to edit ‘tweets’ among the options of these.

This allows modify and update the text to offer a fresh version of the post on the social network.

The changes will be recorded

More recently, the engineer Jane Manchun Wong has discovered that this ‘tweet’ editing function will be accompanied by a history in which each of these changes is recorded.

“It appears that Twitter’s approach to editing a ‘tweet’ is immutable, as instead of modifying the text of the ‘tweet’ within it (i.e. the same ID), re-create a new one with the modified content», has pointed out in this social network.

With this option, the platform looks for prevent misuse of the ‘tweet’ editing option and misinformation. Users will be aware of the modifications that have been made to these posts and will know if their creators have only corrected a typo or if they have altered their ‘tweets’ completely.

This is not the first time that Twitter has made changes for the community to make a proper use of the platform. At the end of 2021, the social network prohibited the publication of videos and images of third parties without their consent. This measure is intended to prevent harassment and combat invasions of privacy.
