Twitter is working on an 'Undo Send' button, the next best thing after an edit button - Android

Twitter is working on a new Undo Send button that will allow you to undo the tweet you just posted, but within 5 seconds

Twitter has a long standing complaint against itself from all the users around the world, and that's an 'Edit' button. Once you have posted the tweet, you can't edit it. The only option you have is to delete the tweet and repost. But it seems like the company is finally willing to give it a thought and solve the problem for us, but it's not what you think. 

 

While an 'Edit' button is nowhere in sight, Twitter is willing to give us an 'Undo Send' button that will help you recall the tweet you just posted, but only within 5 seconds of posting. Once you post the tweet, you will have an option to undo the post and Twitter will bring you back to the posting screen. 

 

The report comes from a tipster known as Jane Manchun Wong as she even posted a gif demonstrating the feature. From the GIF she posted, it looks like 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.
