Twitter announced on Tuesday the launch of its first subscription service in the US market, which costs $ 2.99 per month and offers users small advantages and additional tools to those of the free platform.

Twitter Blue offers subscribers three main changes compared to the free version: folders that organize tweets, the possibility to modify messages before they are published and a reading mode.

Folders are a new system for organizing your favorite tweets as if it were a library, with customizable categories such as “funny”, “cute”, “movies” or “things to buy”.

The option to modify messages before their publication, which Twitter has dubbed “undo tweets”, allows setting by default a margin of up to 30 seconds from when the message is written and until it is published, so that the user has time to reread it and change or delete something if you think so.
