Who never wanted one undo button on Twitter to cast the first stone. Whether it's to erase some blunder made on impulse or correct a silly typo—not that the latter makes that much of a difference on an informal social network—s had already expressed their desires for such a feature for some time. 3e1u68
The discovery of the supposed new function of editing sent messages is in charge of Jane Manchun Wong, a relatively famous developer on the platform who already discovered other things in advance. Below, her tweet with a gif of how the undo button on Twitter would work.

Apparently, the will have a measly 5 second interval to decide if what he posted is good or not. During this time, you will be able to click the undo button on Twitter, called, in English, Undo Tweet. This means that will not be any message which can be edited, unlike YouTube comments, for example, where you can change what is written after reaching fame.
The function is similar to one implemented in gmail, which, personally, has already saved me from sending emails where I forgot to include an attachment. In the case of the email address tool, the platform offers up to 30 seconds to change your mind and return the submission, which is enough to catch something wrong. Now, 5 seconds? Just seeing to believe.

In Jane's original tweet, we can see the opinion of some s of the platform. One of them caught my attention, precisely because it offers a great idea. The boy in question is called David Svezhintsev.
The existence of a little window to see the tweet in question before deciding to delete or release it would be very helpful. We know that, on a social network like Twitter, sometimes we type things that go unnoticed — the 5 seconds of the undo button on Twitter can be the necessary pause to reread the text and identify an error.
In any case, we still haven't heard anything official from Twitter, so we just have to wait. Maybe they're too busy putting together the next social media revolution, like the paid subscriptions that would work, in theory, as a Patreon or something like that. Finally, it is also possible that the tool receives some changes before being implemented, if it is, in fact, implemented.
And you, did you like this new undo button on Twitter? Prefer to edit messages in another way? Leave us your opinion below.
