Twitter says users can have edit button, but on one condition

Microblogging platform Twitter on Friday announced that the long sought-after edit button can be rolled out but with one condition. Twitter says that the edit button can only be added after the widespread adoption of face masks in an effort to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

The edit button feature could allow users to edit tweets, one of the most in-demand feature on the social media application.

Twitter has taken a stand in the US’ debate over the wearing of face masks in public, the social media platform said users can have the edit button “when everyone wears a mask”.
