Twitter has finally responded to the demands of its users by adding an edit button. But they will have to pay to use it.
The social media giant announced Thursday that it will test the editing feature for its premium accounts known as Twitter Blue.
The option of an edit button has been the subject of jokes on Twitter for years, with many users believing that such an option would never become available.
However, for the price of $4.99 per month, users can now edit their posts multiple times up to 30 minutes after they were originally published, which is much more restrictive than the editing features on Facebook or Reddit.
Twitter management has long believed that an editing feature could lead to the spread of misinformation on the site and has added precautions in place in the coming weeks.
These include the option to view previous versions of tweets, as well as icons to indicate that the tweet has been edited.

The feature is only available to premium customers for now as part of a testing phase, though Twitter plans to bring the feature to all users at an unspecified date.
