Twitter Inc (NYSE:TWTR) is now offering the option to edit a tweet to some users in Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
A report on Sky News said people in those countries who subscribe to the paid Twitter Blue service will be able to change their posts.
The company said the feature is "coming soon" for the American market, despite it having been tested in the US recently.
It is unclear when it will be opened up to UK users because Twitter Blue is not currently available here, the report said.
People will be able to see when a tweet has been edited because a pencil icon will appear next to it. A version history can also be opened to show what has changed.
Users have long called for the ability to change tweets to fix mistakes or clarify meaning.
Reaction from Twitter users was mixed.
"The fact that @Twitter still doesn't have an edit function in the US is a travesty of justice," said @C_Navarrete30.
"Twitter Blue with Edit button makes it worth the $5 a month," said @Entralized, while @rolotomars tweeted: "10 years late, but I guess better than never."
Twitter Blue launched last year and offers extra features based on user feedback.
The US price increased in July from $2.99 per month to $4.99.
The company has not disclosed how many people have signed up but says it remains committed to also offering its free service.
