Twitter relaunches Twitter Blue that will charge $8 a month for the blue brand, but those who use the feature on the iPhone will have to spend more

The social network Twitter relaunched this Monday Twitter Blueits account identity verification system, for which users will have to pay $8 a month and $11 on request for Apple devices.

“We’re relaunching ‘@TwitterBlue’ on Monday – subscribe on the web for $8/month or on iOS for $11/month to get access to exclusive subscriber features, including the blue checkmark,” had previously indicated the official account of the company.

As it had been doing until now, Twitter Blue _Available in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK_, includes additional features that only your subscribers will be able to access.

Among them, to customize the icon of the apps and your account theme, turn on Read Mode or create folders of saved items from Profile, as well as early access to beta features like tweet editing. The subscription also offers fewer ads.

One of the main changes is the meaning of the blue check mark. From now on, this badge will no longer only refer to accounts verified for being “active, notable and authentic”, it will also indicate that the account has an active subscription to Twitter Blue, as the company explains on the page dedicated to subscription. .

There will be a new label with which they will identify the official accounts that will complement the current blue badge.

This insignia will be complemented by an ‘official account’ label. In this way, it will be possible to distinguish which accounts have obtained verification through the means of subscription or which have been verified as public figures, government accounts or multilateral organizations.

For the rest of the accounts that are not official but have the blue badge, Twitter allows you to know the difference between the verification by subscription and the one granted by the platform by clicking on the blue check mark, where an informative message will be displayed describing what type of account it is and the reasons.
