Threads, Meta's X (previously [Twitter](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/13027/8-lessons-you-can-learn-from-top-brands-twitter-marketing-strategies)) competitor, is getting an edit button. Users would be able to amend their posts within five [minutes](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/23598/best-wedding-photographer-inspire-the-best-to-protect-your-valuable-minutes) after [publishing](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/11827/self-publishing-variety) them. Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri mentioned the possibility of an edit button immediately after the app's July launch. [Developer](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/157260/variation-between-web-designer-and-web-developer) Alessandro Paluzzi, formerly of Twitter, disclosed this [development](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/65309/importance-of-ux-design-in-the-development-of-mobile-apps), implying that it will be available to users soon. Threads is set to introduce an edit [feature](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12788/how-to-boost-sales-using-magento-2-checkout-feature) that allows users to make changes to their posts within five minutes of posting them. The feature will also display a post's edit history, similar to Instagram's edited caption history. This feature is not yet available but may be introduced in the near future. Threads' competitor, X, has an edit feature for a long time but is paywalled behind the $8 [Premium subscription](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/109986/how-to-cancel-a-linkedin-premium-subscription). On X, users can edit a post within 30 minutes of publishing. It is unclear when the edit feature will be available on Threads and if it will be free or restricted to paid users. Meta has also introduced a new feature for Threads, allowing users to switch between [multiple](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/12797/iowa-is-expected-to-see-heavy-growth-in-multiple-sectors) [profiles](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/34878/which-president-won-the-pulitzer-prize-for-profiles-in-courage) on mobile.
