Twitter's App Store listing confirms $2.99 price for 'Twitter Blue' paid service
It appears that Twitter is serious about launching a paid service.
The company's own listing in Apple's App Store now says the Twitter app offers in-app purchases. The only in-app purchase listed is for something called "Twitter Blue," and it costs $2.99.
We've known about this for a few weeks; researcher Jane Manchun Wong recently dug out references to Twitter Blue, as well as the $2.99 price, in the Twitter app. One of the features offered by what is presumably Twitter's paid, premium service, is Collections, which lets you "save and organize your favorite Tweets into Collections so that they're easier to find later."
Other potential features are bookmark collections, color customization options, and an "undo tweet" option.
Wong claims that Twitter is also working on a tiered subscription pricing model, for which you'd get more premium features in higher-priced tiers. One such premium feature could be a clutter-free news reading experience via Scroll, an app which Twitter acquired in early May.
The new subscription service doesn't seem to work yet — I haven't found a way to turn it on in the Twitter iOS app.
However, now that the Twitter app officially lists Twitter Blue as an in-app purchase, it's likely that this new option is coming fairly soon.

Nope.
ReplyDeleteI'm not really sure, what benefit "Undo Tweet" has over just deleting the tweet.
ReplyDeletePossibly retaining engagement data?
DeleteDeath by subscription - it's coming! They all want your money all the time..
ReplyDeleteIf people can undo/edit Tweets how are we going to fire them in 20 years when someone finds a stupid joke or comment they said?
ReplyDeleteMastodon everyone~!
ReplyDeleteSoooooo editing which might make things less of a shut show on there is going to cost money? Dear god no wonder it took your company to make any decisions during the last four plus years.
ReplyDeleteTweet editing is holding out for $5/month?
ReplyDeleteI STILL have no use for Twitter, FascistBook, TikTok, or any of the rest of "social" media.
ReplyDeleteThe undo tweet option should not be locked behind a paywall.
ReplyDeleteOnce again the rich elites get to do things the rest of the people who can't just afford to throw away money on every single in-app purchase or subscription service on the planet will not be able to do.
Hyperbole much? While I agree it’s not ideal and foolish saying it’s all rich elite having these options is a bit much. Maybe one less mocha latte this month can cover it if you want that function?
DeletePlenty of other social platforms to use.
ReplyDelete[insert eye roll here]
ReplyDeleteWhy would you force people to pay to be disturbed /j
ReplyDeleteThis is a nightmare
ReplyDeleteSo they’re making you have to pay for bookmarks that’s dumb
ReplyDeletesAY SIKE RN
ReplyDeleteIt’s quiet for that.
ReplyDeleteIt just lets you save tweets and organize them? I wouldn’t do that shit for free
ReplyDeleteLook what y’all did
ReplyDeleteImagine paying—like, with money—to access The Blue Bird App’s Bigotry, Rage, & Shitpost Jamboree
ReplyDelete“ why is Twitter free” Twitter…. Y’all happy now?
ReplyDeleteI remember when there were rumors like a year ago but man..
ReplyDelete“I cant believe this app is free”
ReplyDeletedickheads
What's that for
ReplyDeleteAlright, who's signed up?
ReplyDeleteRumor is you can "undo" tweets. Is that the edit feature?
Ad free or I'm not interested.
ReplyDeleteRIP “how is this site free” jokes
ReplyDeleteI just want to be able to edit tweets ...
ReplyDeletethe day has arrived.
ReplyDeleteHere comes the content pay walls and "premier content"
ReplyDeleteWill the market dive in or is this another possible avenue that misses the mark?
