Here's how edited Tweets look with Embeds on other websites

One of the most anticipated features on Twitter is the edit button, and it’s still currently developing. But thanks to Jane Manchun Wong [app researcher]We now have an idea of how tweet edits will look and how they will affect an embedded tweet on a third-party website like a news article. The embedded tweet will still display the old text but will include a link to a newer version, and edited embedded tweets will display the text that there is a new version of this tweet which will offer users an option to click and Read the new text. This kind of new design offers more transparency than simply displaying the new text directly up front, and it will calm fears that giving users free rein to edit tweets will make it easier for bad actors to thrive.

But what if Twitter users decided to better tweet that has already been edited? Instead of displaying the original text, the embedded tweet displays the new text [Basically it will read the same as you found it] But below the edited tweet you will be able to access a timestamp, and the text “Last edited”

It’s only been a few months since the company confirmed that there would be an edit button, and it was actually in development, so it would be probably nice to expect the change to be seen for a while until users can see it on their Twitter feeds. Although you should keep in mind that Twitter does plan on testing this feature on their Twitter blue subscribers before any other people So it would be good for you to switch over to Twitter blue, which is now $5 a month to keep up and stay on the latest version.

Embedded Tweets will show whether it’s been edited, or whether there’s a new version of the Tweet When a site embeds a Tweet and it gets edited, the embed doesn’t just show the new version (replacing the old one). Instead, it shows an indicator there’s a new version pic.twitter.com/mAz5tOiyOl— Jane Manchun Wong (@wongmjane) August 1, 2022
