Jack Dorsey Says Twitter Needs An Edit Function

Twitter is considering an edit function for tweets.

In a seemingly impromptu chat on his platform Thursday, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey gave hope to those who have long advocated for the feature, telling one user that “a form of edit is def needed” and another that an edit function is something the company is “thinking a lot about.”

The edit function came up when Dorsey, following the lead of AirBNB CEO Brian Chesky, asked his users “What&;s the most important thing you want to see Twitter improve or create in 2017?” Naturally, his users brought up editing Tweets, and Dorsey appeared on board with the idea.

In the banter following his question, Dorsey indicated that he believes both verified and non-verified users need some form of edit function. He also got into some options for how an edit function could be rolled out: for a brief time only, or a longer time span, each of which comes with its own complications.

Twitter declined comment on the company&039;s product plans beyond Dorsey&039;s Tweets.
