"On the off chance that you erase a tweet when you answer to somebody and, at that point go to answer again it brings the old content back so you can address your grammatical error," Warren said on Sunday.

A Twitter client remarked: "OMG I think I simply altered a tweet?? I composed a tweet, seen a kindhearted single-letter grammatical mistake, erased the tweet and squeezed "answer" again and found the full content of my past tweet accessible to alter and send once more. In the event that this truly is the element test I think it is I am SO HAPPY."

Afterward, a Twitter representative answered to Warren: "Sadly, we're not trying this. It's a bug and we're investigating it".

Twitter clients have been requesting an Edit catch to evade shame when they unintentionally send tweets with grammatical mistakes and spelling blunders.

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has said the Edit catch will "likely" never occur.

"We began as a SMS, instant message administration. Also, as all of you know, when you send a book, you can't generally take it back. We needed to protect that vibe, that feeling, in the good 'ol days," Dorsey had said.

Dorsey said a year ago that the miniature blogging stage is thinking about an "explain" highlight for its clients.
