Twitter has finally begun rolling out the changes in its Blue subscription to offer the Blue Checkmark. The company had announced that it will be bringing verification tickmark to its Blue subscription and is now starting to test the feature in certain regions.
For those unaware, Elon Musk had just recently acquired the microblogging website. Following its buyout, the billionaire announced that it would be making changes to its Blue subscription, with users now being able to buy the verification checkmark for just 7.99 US Dollars a month. The move was only announced a while back and the company has begun rolling out updates to the iOS app that starts the testing phase for this subscription plan. In other words, the feature is officially being pushed out in real time.
As of right now, the feature is only available in limited regions like the US, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and the UK. Although, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla announced that this feature will also be available in other markets like India in less than a month. Elon Musk also added that the pricing for the Twitter Blue subscription will be adjusted based on the country and its purchasing power parity.
The Blue subscription was originally priced at 2.99 US Dollars a month, and was increased to 4.99 US Dollars earlier this year. But after the acquisition, Elon Musk changed the subscription plans to include the Blue checkmark. Initially, the tick was just for verification for people like celebrities, companies, politicians, and other known personalities. The new move comes as a “Power to the people.”
