Twitter Blue is the Twitter subscription service designed to raise the quality of conversations on the social network. It is a paid model that adds the blue checkmark to your account and allows you to access many other features early.
Twitter Blue is not yet available in all countries of the world
All features that Twitter Blue gives access to are available immediately after paying the subscription feeexcept for the blue checker. This icon only appears on profiles that meet certain requirements and after a review period. Until now, Twitter used the blue check icon to indicate active, notable, and public interest users. Now the icon has two readings: either it is an account verified by these criteria (active and authentic), or it has an active subscription to Twitter Blue.
In addition, Twitter is testing a new Organization Verification service, a service for business accounts that identifies them with a gold icon and recognizes them as official business accounts.
