Twitter's Jack Dorsey has heard your requests to add an edit button, but the CEO has some concerns about the "use cases" for such a feature before the social media platform does anything.

As first reported by The Next Web, Dorsey touched on the topic while speaking at an event in India this week. Dorsey said Twitter has been "considering" the feature for a while, but the company wants to ensure they implement it "in the right way."

This is the first time that Dorsey has touched on the topic since 2016, when the CEO said on his Twitter account that the company was "thinking a lot about it," Recode reported then. However nothing ever came to fruition.

Social media has instead campaigned for the change with the rallying cry " target="_blank"tweets, but editable" that users will often add onto typo-ridden posts they've already sent out. Kim Kardashian tried her own hand at lobbying for this cause in June, when she posted on Twitter she had confronted Dorsey at a birthday party for her husband Kanye West.
