Twitter has finally phased out the legacy Twitter Blue and everyone looks alike, besides the companies and organisations which are having the Blue verification badge from the company itself. From small creators to big politicians and actors- everyone is the same on the platform now. But if you miss the authentication mark from your profile, then there is a way to get it back too.
But now the question which comes is the payment for the badge which many believes is much higher. But we also have an option which can let you have the blue service badge at lesser money for your profile. How? Let me tell you here.
Twitter has introduced a new subscription at a price tag of Rs 650 per month for those who access it through the Twitter website (not the app version). Users who are subscribing to the badge through the Android or iOS app will have to pay a monthly fee of Rs 900. Let us tell you, Twitter Blue was redesigned last year, giving users many new features like:
- Blue check mark
- Access to edit tweets
- Longer video posts
- Bookmarks
- Custom app icons
- Profile photos
- Option to use NFT
