*The upcoming edit tweet update by Twitter will reportedly keep track ofprevious versions of the edited tweet, The Verge reported.*
According to details, reverse engineer Jane Manchun Wong has saidthat Twitter’s upcoming edit button could leave a digital trace of yourtweet’s history.Wong tweeted saying that the edit function by Twitter might create anentirely new tweet when a user edits a tweet, which means that Twitter cankeep track of older versions of your edited tweets.
She said, “Looks like Twitter’s approach to Edit Tweet is immutable, as in,instead of mutating the Tweet text within the same Tweet (same ID), itre-creates a new Tweet with the amended content, along with the list of theold Tweets prior of that edit.”
