Users who create a new account on Twitter will not be eligible for the Twitter Blue subscription until after 90 days of your entry into the social networkat which time this payment option will be available to them and they will be able to purchase it.
Twitter Blue is a monthly payment option of the social network that offers Early access to premium features. Currently, it is only available for iOS devices in the United States, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.
Earlier this month, the company launched a revamped Twitter Blue, which includes additional subscriber-only features such as customize the icon of the ‘app’ itselfaccess the Reading Mode or test functionalities before their arrival on the stable channel.
Of the new features integrated into Blue, the most anticipated was the blue check mark, which would not only refer to verified accounts because they are “active, noticeable and automatic”, it would also indicate that the account is subscribed to Twitter Blue.
As a result of the implementation of this blue mark, Twitter has reported several cases of users who have begun to impersonate brands and celebritieswhich has even caused the shares of companies such as Eli Lilly and Lockhead Martin to plummet, as he recalls TechCrunch.
To mitigate the result of this deployment, according to has indicated the social network led by Elon Musk in a recent update, a lawsuit has been filed waiting period For users who create new accounts and who want to use Twitter Blue. Specifically, they must wait 90 days to opt for this version of the social network.
The company has commented that may also “impose waiting periods for new accounts in the future” at its discretion and “without prior notice”, so this block for newly created accounts could be longer than three months.
It should be remembered that Musk reported this Wednesday, November 16, that he would postpone the platform’s payment verification program until November 29, with the aim of rethinking some of its functionalities. Among them, the blue check mark.
Another of the measures that Twitter will take with the relaunch of Blue Verified has to do with the change in verified names. The new owner of the platform has warned about what users who change their verified name will lose their brand until confirmed by Twitter that the new name is real.
