What is Twitter Blue?
Twitter Blue
Twitter Blue is a paid subscription. The users who choose to pay a monthly fee for it get access to certain extra features and ways to customize their app interface.
Twitter Blue is optional and you certainly don’t need it to enjoy Twitter. Think of it as a paid add-on that is supposed to enhance your Twitter experience.
It initially rolled out in Australia and Canada before launching in the U.S. in November of 2021.
What Does Twitter Blue Offer?
- Ad-free sections: It grants you access to a section of fast-loading, ad-free articles on Twitter, specifically those belonging to news sites that are part of the Twitter Blue Publishers network.
- Customization options: You have the opportunity to create an experience on the social network that is much more tailored to you. For example, you can modify the icons and themes, create folders to save your favorite tweets, customize the navigation bar, and more.
- Easy-to-read threads: Long threads can sometimes be difficult to read. You can change the font size to enjoy the content more.
- Compilation of the most shared articles: You can see which digital articles have been shared the most by your community on the digital platform in the last 24 hours.
- Edit Tweets: Before publishing your tweets, you can preview them and edit them so that they are sent out exactly as you’d like for them to be. Do not confuse this option with the possibility of rewriting tweets already published, as this is not yet possible.
- Access to Twitter Blue Labs: You will be the first to have access to new features that are being tested.
