It's not exactly the news we'll continue to wait for,I Would Rather Kill You but it's something.

Twitter is testing an "undo send" feature for tweets, which isn't exactly an edit button, but it's part-way there.

The news comes via app researcher and tipster Jane Manchun Wong, who posted a tweet with a GIF of how the feature would work. By the looks of it, a timer comes into play once a user hits send on a tweet, and for around five to six seconds, you're able to hit 'undo' on your tweets.

A Twitter spokesperson confirmed to Mashable that the feature is being tested.

The feature looks like it'll come in handy if you notice a typo or error in a tweet and want to fix it ASAP. But, from the GIF, it doesn't look like you can see a preview of the tweet while the undo button timer is active, which might make spotting a typo a little tricky.

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has previously ruled out the prospect of an edit button, stating, "We’ll probably never do it." But we'll take this as a compromise.

UPDATE: March 5, 2021, 3:09 p.m. GMT Updated with confirmation from Twitter spokesperson that this feature is being tested.
