Additional features of Twitter
Twitter Blue also has some additional features. They include a thread reader, priority ranking in discussion replies, a 60-minute video upload limit, theme customization option and the ability to edit tweets in addition to the blue verification badge.
Since Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter for $44 billion last year, he has brought changes to the company including new subscription plans for Twitter Blue.
Twitter owner announced that Twitter’s Basic blue tick will have half the number of advertisements and that it will offer a higher tier with no advertisements by 2023.
On Wednesday, Twitter Inc said it was offering an annual plan for its subscription service called Twitter Blue, which includes its sought-after “verified” badge, at a discount to its monthly price. Users can subscribe to the service for an annual price of $84, that is $7 per month. While the original cost per month is $8 to get the blue checkmark. “The discount would be available in countries including United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Japan, New Zealand and Australia”, Twitter added.
