As of now, the company is testing this feature with a small group to help the platform identify and resolve potential issues before the general release. During these tests, published tweets can be edited a few times in the first 30 minutes.
The edited tweets will appear with a label as a kind of indication that will tell that the tweet has been edited. On tapping the label, the user will be taken to the edit history of the tweet, which will show the original tweet.
Twitter is hoping to make tweeting easier and more approachable, giving people more choice and control in how they express themselves and how they contribute to the many conversations happening on the platform with this feature.
