Facebook is finally letting you Edit your posts

           A feature that Facebook had been testing for some time now has finally gone live on Facebook's web interface and is also being rolled out on the Android app. The edit feature is expected to be available on Facebook's iOS app soon. This means that you need not have to live with a typo or delete a post for an error in the text. Facebook users can easily edit the text of the post and also the comments they post and update an existing post. Until now Facebook only allowed editing of image captions. This new Facebook change also raises the question of altered context. a comment or a like could be in reference to what was originally in the post, but by letting users edit the post itself may sometimes alter the meaning together.

                  We've all typed things on Facebook that we regret. Over the top angry responses to shared political articles. Weirdly inappropriate comments under a friend's photo. typo-ridden exclamations under a big announcement. Facebook only gave you  a few seconds to make an edit, which resulted in moments of panic before you either had to delete a comment or just live with it.

                  Facebook is finally allowing users to edit their posts after they've already posted them. For now, the update has only appeared on Android and presumably some web users but an iOS version can't be too far behind. Facebook has already allowed comment editing for over a year, but actual posts editing had been conspicuously absent, forcing users to delete and repost anything that needed fixing. Now that it's here though and just like with comments your friends will be able to see a history of every single time you've made an edit.
 
                  You'll also be able to view the edit history of any comment by clicking on the "Edited" button near the timestamp. That means that any typos or regrettable things you edit out aren't gone forever; they are just gone at first glance. This is all well and good, but what about the Facebook feture everyone really wants, the ability to edit Wall posts. The day that I can edit a rambling screed written at 3 am after a night of watching my team lose at a sports bar is the day I know that Facebook is truly safe for the impulsive writer.
