Twitter will give edit button for tweets when ‘everyone wears a mask’

Twitter says it will roll out the much-anticipated Edit button if everyone wears a face mask to help health authorities fight the Covid-19 pandemic globally.

In a series of tweets, the micro-blogging platform emphasised on maintaining social distancing and wear a mask.

“You can have an edit button when everyone wears a mask,” Twitter said on Thursday.

“Everyone means EVERYONE”.

Twitter users have been asking for an Edit button to avoid embarrassment when they accidentally send tweets with typos and spelling errors.

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has said the Edit button will “probably” never happen.
