Does Twitter Finally Have an Edit Button?

Question: I’ve wished I could edit my tweets for years. Is it true that Twitter now offers an edit button?

Answer: Yes, Twitter’s long-awaited edit button began its gradual rollout in the U.S. in October, which is great news for people who are prone to typos or tend to reconsider their tweets. However, there’s a small catch. The edit button is only available with a $4.99/month Twitter Blue subscription.

Once you’ve sent out a tweet, you’ll see a notification saying, “Your tweet has been sent. You can edit it for the next 30 minutes.” During this 30-minute window, you can make up to five edits. Edited tweets will have an “edited” icon next to them, and others can click to see previously published versions of that tweet.

For now, Twitter Blue users can only edit tweets and quote tweets. They cannot edit:

• Retweets
• Replies
• Threads
• Pinned tweets
• Polls
• Promoted tweets
• Tweets written on third-party tools
• Twitter Circle tweets
• Community tweets
• Super Follows tweets
• CoTweets

The company hasn’t confirmed if the edit button will ever be available outside of Twitter Blue, though the feature is categorized as part of “Twitter Blue Labs,” and Twitter has previously said some “Labs” features will eventually be available more widely.

Beware of Student Loan Forgiveness Scams

Nearly 43 million Americans are eligible for student loan relief, according to White House estimates. To scammers, that means a big pool of potential victims.

The White House and Department of Education are warning student loan borrowers not to fall for scams related to debt relief. Applications opened up in October for the student debt relief program announced over the summer, and scammers will try to take advantage of any confusion that could surround the initiative.

To protect yourself from these scams, here’s what to do and what not to do:

DO sign up at www.ed.gov/subscriptions to be notified when the Student Loan Debt Relief application becomes available.

DO create an FSA ID at StudentAid.gov. You will not need it for the debt relief application but having an FSA ID can allow you to easily access accurate information on your loan and make sure FSA can contact you directly, helping you equip yourself against scammers trying to contact you. Log in to your current account on StudentAid.gov and keep your contact info up to date. If you need help logging in, follow these tips on accessing your account.

DO make sure your loan servicer has your most current contact information. If you don’t know who your servicer is, you can log into StudentAid.gov and see your servicer(s) in your account.

DO report scammers to the Federal Trade Commission by visiting reportfraud.ftc.gov.

DON’T pay anyone who contacts you with promises of debt relief or loan forgiveness. YOU DO NOT NEED TO PAY ANYONE TO OBTAIN DEBT RELIEF. The application is free and easy to use.

DON’T reveal your FSA ID or account information or password to anyone who contacts you. The Department of Education and your federal student loan servicer will never call or email you asking for this information.

DON’T ever give personal or financial information to an unfamiliar caller. When in doubt, hang up and call your student loan servicer directly. You can find your federal student loan servicer’s contact information at this link.

DON’T refinance your federal student loans unless you know the risks. If you refinance federal student loans that are eligible for debt relief into a private loan, you will lose out on important benefits like one-time debt relief and flexible repayment plans for federal loans.
