Twitter has extended the editing window for a tweet to one hour instead of 30 minutes, but the feature is only available for paid subscribers.

After introducing the option to edit the tweet for the next 30 minutes, Twitter is now extending the window for its Twitter Blue subscribers. The upgraded feature is only applicable to original tweets and not the replies.

 

The feature to edit the tweet still 30 minutes after posting was incorporated before Elon Musk's takeover. However, the feature is very popular among users. It is one of the key features driving the numbers in paid subscriptions.
