Twitter Blue will relaunch tomorrow | Mashable.

Elon Musk is finally relaunching Twitter Blue

Brace yourselves for blue, gold, and grey checkmarks.

Those eager to purchase a blue checkmark are in luck: at long last Twitter is relaunching Twitter Blue.

Twitter announced that it will relaunch Twitter Blue tomorrow (Dec. 12) in a tweet yesterday. Twitter Blue was previously delayed as the social media platform tried to figure out how to avoid Apple's 30 percent fee on in-app purchases. To compensate for the fee Twitter is now charging $8 a month on web and $11 through its iPhone app.

So what does the subscription fee now get you? Access to edit tweets, 1080p video uploads, reader mode, and of course, the coveted blue checkmark. Twitter will also be reviewing accounts before bestowing them with blue checkmarks and will remove blue checkmarks and re-review Twitter Blue accounts anytime they change their handle, display name, or profile photo. The announcement didn't specify what makes an account ineligible for a blue checkmark.

It will deal with confusion over what is an official account by making everything more complicated. Twitter is phasing out the "Official account" profile tag and introducing gold and grey checkmarks. Gold checkmarks will be for businesses, while grey will be for government and multilateral accounts.

May we never have to hear about Twitter Blue again.

More in Twitter, Elon Musk

  1. It will be a flop. Mark me. It won’t work. There’s no intelligence left at the place. You got car makers playing social media and a megalomaniac in charge. Twitter was something once, it’s over.

    5. Never been a fan of the Twits. It has always puzzled me how they kept getting bigger without ever getting any better.
      Now they are spiraling toward ground zero.

    1. ROFLMAO anyone can make up any name and not pay a fee....

      AHAHAH only a leftist thinks you have to pay to be on twitter.

      Delete
    2. quite the leap you made there just so you could toss out an insult. Good luck continuing to be a POS.

      Delete
    3. You said I made LEAPS just so I could post insults....

      Lets analyze that delusion.

      FACT anyone can make up a name on Twitter and call themselves anything they want.....

      I know someone who called themselves RubberBisket... clearly, that's not their real name.

      So not made up..... IE no LEAPS

      SHE said anyone can make some changes.... to avoid a fee.

      I pointed out its FREE!!!! already..... YOU DONT HAVE TO PAY A FEE!!!!

      That is also a True Statement.

      So where exactly were the leaps I made?

      I mean it was just the two sentences...... Sooooooooo

      BTW I do agree.... being called a leftist SHOULD BE OFFENSIVE!!!!

    4. saying that you can add something to the end of your name to do the same thing that this program does isn’t the same as saying that you have to pay to use Twitter. Don’t injure yourself patting yourself on the back. Rest up those 2 brain cells, that was a lot of typing for being so wrong.

    5. <---- the Troll said --- "saying that you can add something to the end of your name to do the same thing that this program does isn’t the same as saying that you have to pay to use Twitter."

      ROFLMAO I love how you selectively cut off her post.... and left out the words -----"to avoid the fee."

      Delete
    6. I wasn’t ignoring it, you mental midget, it was implied in what I was saying. Does your mommy know that you are on her phone? Sit down and let the adults talk. Brush up on your reading comprehension.

      As much as you want to believe it, saying “to avoid the fee” isn’t saying that you have to pay to use Twitter. Go back to Dr. Seuss, kid.

      Delete
    7. Travers So now you want to agree...... she thought one had to pay for a name.......

      When in fact anyone could make up any name they wanted too..... AS I STATED AND TWITTER IS ALREADY FREE!!! so there Is no reason to make up a name to avoid a fee....

      AHAHAHAHAH Thanks for agreeing with me.... even though you so desperately wont admit you do....

  17. Elon Musk is doing fantastic work at Twitter and is doing a service for our culture, but woke idiots and bigots won't care, because Twitter is no longer a leftist echo chamber that coddles them and silences other viewpoints that differ from and challenge their own. These are weak, fragile, and entitled adult children with weak and fragile ideas that crumble in the face of opposition. Their safe spaces on Twitter are no longer keeping their unposed ideas free from scrutiny and they can't have that.

  22. How do humans have patents determining that they own certain sound vibrations or even mathematical algorithms, like how does a human being on that they did it in our society you can get a patent on some form of algorithm that created Twitter, sure the creator should deserves do credit but are we really advanced at all if that’s something we can consider anything that a human could own like own😳
