New Delhi: Blue tick was first given to the verified account on Twitter. Now the company is giving it through Twitter Blue Subscription. Apart from this, Gold and Gray Ticks are also being given. The verified accounts of the companies are being given a golden color tick. Now companies’ verification accounts will be given gold, government will be gray and people will be given blue tick from Twitter. But, Twitter boss Elon Musk’s new announcement may upset a lot of people.
Elon Musk announced that all Twitter users will soon end their blue ticks. He has given information about this by tweeting. Recently Twitter Blue subscription feature has been re-launched. In such a situation users have to pay money to get Twitter Blue Tick. Previously, blue ticks on Twitter were only given to journalists, political figures, celebrities and others. Now the blue tick will be removed from already verified accounts. In response to the tweet, he wrote that all legacy blue checks will be phased out in a few months.
In simple terms, those who already had a Blue Tick become a legacy. Means the account was previously verified, now it is not verified. Due to which the blue tick will also be removed from his name in the future.
Musk has said that the Blue Tick was wrongly given to these people. Currently more than 4 lakh Twitter accounts have a blue check mark. This verification mark indicates that the account is authentic and will provide correct information. Musk said that with the new subscription service, individuals will be given a Blue Tick separate from social status.
If they pay for it, they will be given a blue tick. The company released this feature some time ago. But, many false accounts also got the blue tick, after which they started spreading fake news. The original companies had to bear huge losses due to this.
Along with Twitter Blue subscription, many new features are also being provided to the users. Users can currently sign up for Twitter Blue from iOS or the web. Edit tweets for Twitter Blue Subscriber, 1080p video uploads. Reader mode, less ads and other features are being offered. The company charges $8 per month for Twitter Blue. However, the charge is $11 per month for Apple users. Twitter Blue subscription charges in India have not been announced.
