Users have the option to choose from no delay, a 10-second delay, or a 10-minute delay and during that time period, users can click “undo” anytime which deletes the tweet instantly and gives them time to rethink what they wish to post.
Users can also edit any tweet as Brizzly deletes the older one; the auto-delete feature will enable users to pick an option between 24 hours, one week, or one month to have their tweets deleted regardless of whether they were sent through .
