New subscriptions to Twitter Blue are currently only available on the web, iOS, or Android.
Twitter Blue is an opt-in, paid subscription that adds a blue checkmark to your account and offers early access to selected features, such as editing Tweet.
The popular microblogging application Twitter, owned by Elon Musk, has announced the price of the Twitter Blue subscription for Android. It has increased the price of its Blue service for Android users, with individuals now paying $11 per month. Twitter Blue subscription starts at $8/month or $84/year in available countries to get the blue tick next to early access to features.
What is Twitter Blue?
Twitter Blue is an opt-in, paid subscription that adds a blue checkmark to your account and offers early access to selected features, such as editing Tweet. All Twitter Blue features are available immediately, except for the blue check mark, which may take some time for the review of subscribed accounts to meet all requirements.
Until now, Twitter used the blue check mark to indicate active, notable, and authentic public interest accounts that Twitter had independently verified based on certain requirements. Now the blue check mark can mean two different things: either that an account has been verified according to the previous verification criteria (active and authentic), or that the account has an active subscription to Twitter Blue.
“We are also testing a new service called Twitter Verification for Organizations, a service for business entities on Twitter that adds a gold checkmark to official business accounts,” the company wrote in a blog post. In addition to the blue check mark, Twitter Blue features give subscribers a way to enhance and customize their Twitter experience.
