Twitter is Testing a New ‘Undo’ Option for Sent Tweets

As you can see here, the new option would enable you to recall your tweet within a 5-second window, which could be enough time to quickly check over your witty observation and catch any clumsy errors before it’s unleashed.

The main usage here would be to catch errors, but an additional benefit could be that it enables users to also re-think their tweets before sending. Small elements of friction like this within the tweet process can often be enough to provide a moment of clarity and may stop users from sending offensive or unintended comments as a result.
