Twitter’s Blue subscription is now available for Android users for $11 (around Rs. 900) per month. Following Elon Musk’s acquisition of the company, the subscription was redesigned and now includes Twitter’s blue verified badge. According to Musk, those Twitter users who have a blue checkmark next to their username must pay for the feature. Also, new subscribers will get the tick mark next to their profile name.

Twitter Blue Subscription: Features

The blue tick mark next to the profile name is added by the Twitter Blue subscription which also unlocks a number of helpful functions. First off, it contains “undo” tweets which allow users to take back tweets that have already been sent. Users should be aware that it is not an edit button and only allows users to quickly revise a tweet after sending it.

Additionally, users can submit videos up to 2GB in size (1080p) and longer than 60 minutes with the Blue membership. Moreover, it prioritizes your replies to Tweets that you interact with.

The Blue membership also offers a reader, personalized app icons, themes, top articles, and bookmark folders. Twitter claims that not all features are accessible across all platforms, though. In addition, Twitter Blue subscriptions cannot be made for 90 days on newly created Twitter accounts.

Twitter Blue Subscription: Price And Availability

While the annual subscription fee for Twitter Blue for web users is $84, the monthly fee is $8. For Android signups, Twitter is adding a $3 surcharge to cover Google’s commission. Users who pay with iOS are also affected by this.

In the US and a few other countries, you can subscribe to Twitter Blue annually at a reduced price. According to recent sources, a Twitter Blue subscription for iOS users will cost Rs. 999, while the pricing for Android users has not yet been made public. We might assume that India’s plans will soon be announced in more detail.

The Twitter Blue membership was initially made available to iOS and web users; it is not yet accessible in India. Users from the UK, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan are the only countries that can use the service. It should shortly be introduced in India.
