New users will have to wait 90 days to get a blue tick on Twitter

Twitter Blue is an optional, monthly subscription service that costs $7.99 and gives users early access to a few new features, such as Edit Tweet along with a blue checkmark on their account. Twitter chief Elon Musk has recently said that the suspended Twitter Blue subscription will relaunch on November 29th.

Twitter Blue tick and subscription for new users

The microblogging platform has cleared that new Twitter accounts will not be able to sign up for Twitter Blue for 90 days. According to the Twitter Blue support page, the platform is “working on an updated process for new Twitter accounts in order to help minimise impersonation risks and may impose waiting periods for new accounts without notice”.

Twitter Blue is currently available on iOS only in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK, with plans to expand. Not all features are available on all platforms. Newly created Twitter accounts will not be able to subscribe to Twitter Blue for 90 days. We may also impose waiting periods for new accounts in the future in our discretion without notice.

Meanwhile, after earning a blue checkmark, Twitter Blue subscribers won’t be able to modify their display name or username. The platform said that it would shortly provide a new procedure for any display/user name modifications.

Currently, only iOS users in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK may presently purchase the new Twitter Blue in-app.

Twitter stated on its support page that current Twitter Blue subscribers who first signed up on iOS will have to upgrade to the higher fee on iOS in order to get a blue checkmark.

The platform charges $7.99 for a Twitter Blue subscription in places like the US, Australia, and Canada, but the same service costs Rs 719 (about $8.91) in India.
