“#Twitter<\/a> is testing the next best thing to the edit button \u2014 an undo send feature<\/strong>”

\n We\u2019ve all been there, staring at a tweet where we made a huge typo. We\u2019ve all also yelled, \u201cWhy wouldn\u2019t you give us an edit button, Twitter?\u201d while looking at our screens in frustration.<\/p>\n

We might not be getting an edit button anytime soon, but we might get the next best thing: an undo send button. Tipster extraordinaire Jane Manchun Wong tweeted today<\/a> that the social network is testing this very\u00a0feature.<\/p>\n

From the GIF she posted, we could see that the timer lasts for about five to six seconds before the tweet is sent. So, if you made a typo, you have just five to six seconds to cancel the tweet, and correct your mistake.<\/p>\n

We might see a ton of Clubhouse (or Twitter Spaces) debates on what\u2019s the best way to implement this. However, product designer\u00a0David Svezhintsev noted that in the current version, you can\u2019t see the preview of the tweet while time is running out. I agree with him, Twitter could keep the undo time five seconds or ten seconds, often, I wouldn\u2019t realize that I made the typo if I don\u2019t see the preview.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Well, in that case I wish there was a preview of the tweet while watching that ticker go.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, I want this feature to be rolled out to at least some users to get feedback and see how effective it is in reducing typos. I beg you Twitter, please do it.<\/p>\n
