Twitter is working on a feature that [could offer users a short window of time to rethink posting a tweet even after they hit send](https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/05/tech/twitter-undo-send-timer-feature/index.html). CNN reports:

_The company confirmed to CNN Business on Friday it is testing an undo option that would potentially let users retract or correct a tweet before it’s officially posted on the platform. The feature was discovered by Jane Manchun Wong, an app developer who has a strong track record of uncovering new tools on social networks before they’re released. Wong [posted a GIF](https://twitter.com/wongmjane/status/1367704041942179841) on Twitter that shows a blue “undo” bar appearing beneath the words “Your Tweet was sent.” (It’s possible the feature could change before it formally rolls out – if it ever does.) It’s not quite the edit button users have long requested, but it’s a step toward helping users proactively catch errors and slow down before sending impulse tweets._
