The announcement comes after Elon Musk, Twitter's single biggest shareholder, tweeted a poll asking users if they wanted an edit button. More than 4.4 million people responded with 73.6% answering yes.
At the moment, if any user wants to correct a tweet, they must delete it, losing any replies, retweets, or likes it has received, and re-post it.
The new feature will enable people to make the changes without any of the interaction data being lost.The company's head of consumer product, Jay Sullivan, said it has been the"most requested Twitter feature for many years".However, there have been concerns raised about how the edit function will work and it being"misused".
Mr Sullivan said:"Without things like time limits, controls, and transparency about what has been edited, Edit could be misused to alter the record of the public conversation.
