‘Undo Tweet’ Twitter Testing Feature for Paid Users

Reverse engineer Jane Manchun Wong tweeted about the existence of the undo tweet feature that appeared on a subscription screen.

Twitter could be working on an “undo tweet” feature specifically for its paid subscribers to let them undo their tweets that have a typo or some other error – within a limited period of time. The new development could be the company’s response to the much-demanded edit option that it has not provided on the microblogging network so far. It could also emerge as one of the reasons to convince people to subscribe to Twitter at a certain amount of regular charge.

Reverse engineer Jane Manchun Wong tweeted about the existence of the undo tweet feature that appeared on a subscription screen. It would essentially allow users to overturn a recent tweet. This is unlike the existing delete tweet function that completely removes a particular tweet from being visible to all Twitter users. With undo tweet, users have the option to quickly remove a tweet within a fixed period of time before it has been sent out.

Wong has shared a screenshot showing the undo tweet feature. It hasn’t yet been provided to the public, though. She also suggests that it would be among the features that Twitter would provide to its paid subscribers in the future.
