One of the largest and popular social media platforms in the world, Twitter is nothing short of a sensation. Twitter is like having a conversation, but it is a conversation where your thoughts are not really limited to a group or a person. Instead, almost anyone with an active Twitter account can have access to what you post. As Elon Musk took over the company, he promised some positive changes. And Twitter Blue is one of those changes that promises to make the app better.
Time to buck up and understand what Twitter Blue is all about, how it could help you and what are its features.

What does Twitter Blue mean?
You have probably seen that blue tick on Twitter too often. It is a mark of knowing that an account is verified, and the trend is similar across other apps such as Facebook or Instagram. Basically, this feature was only restricted to celebrities, or organisations, Governments, etc. However, Twitter has now made it accessible to everyone. Thus, your blue ticks are now available for all to see, but you must pay a monthly subscription for it.
In India, Twitter Blue is currently available in two different formats – on an annual and monthly subscription basis. For the annual Twitter Blue plan, you will have to pay ₹6,800 a year. On the other hand, the monthly Twitter Blue plan will set you back by ₹650 per month.
What are the features of Twitter Blue?
Let’s be frank. Twitter Blue is not just about the blue checkmark that makes everyone take notice of your online profile. There is more to it:
Now you can edit your tweets
Typos can happen anytime. Twitter has always been flooded with tweets where people have asked the social media platform to finally introduce the ‘edit tweet’ feature. And, it has arrived! With Twitter Blue, you will get a 30-minute time span to make a few changes on a tweet that has already gone live. Neat, we say!
Lower number of ads
With Twitter Blue, you will now see 50% less ads on your profile. And that holds true for both ‘Following’ and ‘For You’ tabs on Twitter.
Post longer tweets
Another feature that had long been requested by the Twitterati was the character limit. Twitter Blue helps you unlock that. Now you can post tweets which go up to 1000 characters. Do remember that everyone can read these tweets, but only Twitter Blue users can create them.
Themes
Bored of the same Twitter theme? Now you can customise it and make it more personalised.
These are only a handful of the features with Twitter Blue. Want to get your hands on the complete package? Then subscribe and find out.
