Here are some features of the subscription service, that is announced by Twitter:
-
- Users will get a blue tick indicating their handle is verified; the tick will be given only after the account has been reviewed by Twitter.
- A gold checkmark will replace the ‘official’ label for businesses, and a grey checkmark will replace the label for governments and government organizations.
we’ll begin replacing that “official” label with a gold checkmark for businesses, and later in the week a grey checkmark for government and multilateral accounts

- Subscribers will also get access to the Edit Tweet feature, as well as higher quality video uploads (1,080p), and a ‘reader mode.’
- Users will be able to change their handle, display name, or profile photo. However, this would lead to a temporary loss of the blue tick, as the account will again be reviewed.
thanks for your patience as we’ve worked to make Blue better – we’re excited and looking forward to sharing more with you soon!
