“What worries me most about the coming financial crash is that Twitter gives us an edit button to cover up missing earnings estimates in bad quarters, and Facebook gives us emoji reactions as a paid feature to get us interested in their earnings.” wrote A third user.
People in general seemed confused by the disappearance of the button and requested Facebook to explain why the functionality disappeared. Some users even insisted on fixing it.
However, Facebook has yet to explain why some users are unable to see the option. Most people have concluded that Facebook changed its functionality on purpose, although it would be a significant change to do so without first mentioning, Distractify.com said further.
Some users have reported that the option to edit Facebook posts has disappeared on their Apple devices after installing the latest version of the Apple operating system.
