Twitter is set to strike down its legacy blue verification mark from user accounts next week on 1 April, as it works toward a model where only paid subscribers and members of approved organizations have that status.
The move is one of the earliest policy changes announced by Twitter owner Elon Musk, who described the existing program as “corrupt” shortly after taking over last year.
The tech giant made the blue verification mark a major feature of its Twitter Blue subscription offering, which Musk began pricing at $8 per month.
Earlier this year, Twitter’s CEO announced three new features which are set to arrive on the platform.
He pointed out that Twitter will soon bring in the Tinder swipe option, which will allow users to swipe right or left to move to browse recommended and followed tweets on the instant messaging platform.
Furthermore, a bookmark button will be used as a de facto silent like on tweets.
The CEO also highlighted that the much-anticipated feature long-form tweet will be rolled out in early February 2023. The feature will help Twitter users to post longer tweets without the current word limit of 280n characters.
