I will edit this post now.

Go to the three little dots at the bottom and the last option is edit post.

You have to be quick though @RitzyMcFitzy

I've just looked on a post on another thread I made less than half an hour ago, and there's no edit option there.

It's probably only a minute or two, which will help when you write a post, give it a quick sense check, then post and immediately the typo or missing/extra 'not' or similar leaps out at you.

This is not exciting

Clymene · 23/08/2023 10:55

It's not on the app, only the website at the moment.

But you can always go onto the website and edit a post you wrote in the app like this one.

I’ve just added this new line to my post on safari

If there's an edit button we will miss the gems like snapped and farted.

WobblyLondoner · 23/08/2023 10:56

I can't edit on the app???

IfICantHaveYou · 23/08/2023 10:56

So why Not on iPhone?

We are going to get hung drawn and quartered for not correcting typos! Can see it happening..

Just tried to edit a post from yesterday on another thread and the edit button wasn’t there, so is it just for very new posts?

Can’t edit this post anymore so looks like there is a 5 minute window.

Spidey66 · 23/08/2023 10:56

Can I correct typos?

Yay!

tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz · 23/08/2023 10:56

Ah I see. That makes more sense.

I was envisaging lots of 'I nevah said that!' 'Yes you bloody did!' style back and forths
