Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has shed fresh light on the firm's plans to allow users to edit tweets.
Speaking at an event in India's capital of New Delhi, he said the most likely outcome was a system aimed at correcting spelling mistakes, according to TNW.
The firm came under fire in 2016 when the feature was first mentioned by Dorsey, with many pointing out it could potentially be used to change the meaning of tweets already shared.

Dorsey said Twitter would probably ban unlimited editing.
'You have to pay attention to what are the use cases for the edit button,' Dorsey said.
'A lot of people want the edit button because they want to quickly fix a mistake they made. Like a misspelling or tweeting the wrong URL. That's a lot more achievable than allowing people to edit any tweet all the way back in time,' Dorsey said.
He said the feature was unlikely to appear quickly, despite the firm already having spent two years thinking about it.
He claimed the wait was so that Twitter can come up with a solution that solves a problem and removes what 'people see as friction in the service.'
'We have been considering this for a while and we have to do in the right way. We can't just rush it out.
'We can't make something which is distracting or takes anything away from the public record,' said the Twitter CEO.
Kim KardashianWest asked Dorsey in person about the feature at her husband Kanye West's birthday party
The possibility of an edit button has been widely discussed - and even Kim Kardashian asked Dorsey in person about it at her husband Kanye West's birthday party.
Kardashian West said she spoke with Dorsey at husband Kanye West's birthday bash. 'I had a very good convo with @jack this weekend at Kanye's bday and I think he really heard me out on the edit button,' she wrote to her 60 million Twitter followers.
In response to her tweet, Dorsey replied, 'Now I see why I was invited!'
Users have been requesting the ability to edit tweets virtually since Twitter's birth.
IS TWITTER SET TO KILL OFF THE LIKE BUTTON?
Twitter could soon kill off the 'Like' button.
The social media giant said it's in the 'early stages' of considering whether or not to remove the like button, which appears as a heart icon, as part of an overall redesign of the platform.
It comes after CEO Jack Dorsey reportedly said at an event last week that he would get rid of the heart-shaped button 'soon,' according to the Telegraph.
But Twitter said the change may not be coming as soon as users think.
'As we've been saying for a while, we are rethinking everything about the service to ensure we are incentivizing healthy conversation, that includes the like button,' Twitter's communications unit said in a tweet.
'We are in the early stages of the work and have no plans to share right now.'
At the WIRED25 summit this month, Dorsey further detailed his thoughts on the like feature, saying he was unhappy with the 'big like button with the heart on it.'
Dorsey stopped short of saying the firm would remove the feature, however.
Some have noted that Twitter may get rid of the like button and, in its place, emphasize the 'Bookmark' feature rolled out earlier this year.
In 2016, Dorsey said that a form of the feature is 'definitely needed,' raising hopes it would soon appear.
When one user wrote that it should be enabled for verified accounts, Dorsey responded, that 'a form of edit is def needed. But for everyone, not just those w badges.'
The CEO suggested two possible types of edits that could work at the time.
One could give users a brief window of time after the post was sent – five minutes, for example – to make any corrections.
The other method would work similarly to Facebook's editing feature, which allows users to amend what they wrote at any time, but shows a log of the changes.
This would ensure the edits don't go 'off the public record,' Dorsey explained.
Still, many users have pointed out that even these options come with risks.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
