Twitter offers a paid subscription service calledTwitter Blue. It includes premium features like the ability to undo tweets and more recently, also grants you a blue checkmark.

Having launched back in June 2021, it’s rolled out to the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand so far, but will eventually roll out more broadly in the future. Here’s what you need to know.

What is Twitter Blue?

Where is Twitter Blue available?

Subscribers of Twitter Blue get access to the following features:

How does verification work now?

Originally, Twitter used the blue checkmark to identify active, notable, and authentic accounts of public interest that Twitter had independently verified based on itsown criteria.

Twitter very briefly introduced an “Official” tag in addition to the checkmark, which identified these noteworthy accounts, but the feature was pulled just hours after going live.

We’re expecting the process to keep evolving and will update this page as the changes roll out.

How to customise Twitter Blue’s features

After you sign-up for Twitter Blue, you’ll be able to customise your Twitter Blue features from the Twitter Blue membership page.

For instance, you’re able to adjust your Tweet Undo expiration period to 30 seconds or less. You can also pick how your Twitter app icon displays on your phone with one of several colourful options. You can choose the theme colours, too. Just navigate to the Twitter Blue menu and start playing.

More information about how each of these customisation options works can be found onTwitter’s Support page here.

Turn Reader Mode on/off

One of the features you can’t customise from the Twitter Blue menu is Reader Mode. To enable or disable that, you need to do so from a tweet.

Create and use a Bookmark Folder

If you want to create a Bookmark Folder, you can do so from the Home timeline or profile in the Twitter app.

Now, to add a tweet to your Bookmark Folder, simply tap the Share Tweet icon at the bottom of the tweet and then choose Add to Folder from the row of options. You may need to swipe to see the full list of options. Easy!
