Twitter Blue with verification relaunching

Twitter has finally announced that it is relaunching its Blue subscription service with verification on December 12, and it will cost $8 for Android users and $11 for iPhone owners per month.

Musk has raised the price of Twitter Blue subscription service from $8 to $11 for iPhone users, keeping the 30 per cent cut that Apple takes on revenues from iOS apps on its App Store.

“We’re relaunching @TwitterBlue on Monday – subscribe on web for $8/month or on iOS for $11/month to get access to subscriber-only features, including the blue checkmark,” the company said.

Those who subscribe will get Edit Tweet, 1080p video uploads, reader mode, and a blue checkmark (after their account has been reviewed).

“We’ll begin replacing that “official” label with a gold checkmark for businesses, and later in the week a grey checkmark for government and multilateral accounts,” said the company.

You can change handle, display name or profile photo, “but if they do, they’ll temporarily lose the blue checkmark until their account is reviewed again,” said Twitter.
