According to reports, the microblogging service will charge users for verified accounts. The Verge claims that Twitter, which is controlled by Elon Musk, will currently charge $19.99 for the new Twitter Blue subscription.
Launched in 2021, Twitter Blue grants customers exclusive access to premium features like the ability to edit and undo tweets.
The popular feature of long-standing demand, an edit button, was also added by the social media behemoth earlier this month. It allows you to edit your tweets after sharing them and is exclusively accessible to Twitter Blue users.
According to the article, users would now have to subscribe to Twitter Blue in order to have their accounts verified.
On the other hand, current Twitter Blue members will have 90 days to upgrade or risk losing their blue tick. Currently, a $4.99 Twitter Blue subscription is required.
According to The Verge’s source, staff working on the project were informed on Sunday that failing to launch the feature by the deadline of November 7 will result in their termination.
Elon Musk also acknowledged in a tweet that the entire verification procedure is now being reorganized.
Musk responded to a user who asked for online assistance in verifying his Twitter account by saying, “The whole verification process is being revamped right now”.
