Twitter Blue to relaunch next week; will cost USD 8 for web, USD 11 for iOS users

Twitter

Washington: The Twitter Blue paid monthly subscription will be available starting next week, the social media platform has announced.
In a Twitter thread, the company said a web subscription will cost USD 8 a month, while a subscription on iOS will cost USD 11 a month. The paid features will include the blue checkmark and the ability to edit tweets. โ€œWeโ€™re relaunching @TwitterBlue on Monday โ€“ subscribe on web for USD 8/month or on iOS for USD 11/month to get access to subscriber-only features, including the blue checkmark. The paid features include the blue checkmark, the ability to edit tweets, higher-quality video uploads, and reader mode ,โ€ the microblogging website said in an official tweet.
The company said it will begin replacing that โ€˜officialโ€™ label with a gold checkmark for businesses, and later in the week a grey checkmark for government and multilateral accounts.
โ€œSubscribers will be able to change their handle, display name or profile photo, but if they do theyโ€™ll temporarily lose the blue checkmark until their account is reviewed again,โ€ Twitter said.
โ€œThanks for your patience as weโ€™ve worked to make Blue better โ€“ weโ€™re excited and looking forward to sharing more with you soon!โ€ the company added.

In late October, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk finalized the USD 44 billion acquisition of Twitter, a US company founded in 2006 with its headquarters located in San Francisco, California.
Following the takeover, Musk changed the companyโ€™s day-to-day operations, including the termination of Twitter executives who were responsible for the platformโ€™s privacy, cybersecurity and censorship, as well as about two-thirds of Twitterโ€™s employees.
On Friday, Musk said that the company had been working on a software update to let users know if they were โ€œshadowbannedโ€ and why.
โ€œTwitter is working on a software update that will show your true account status, so you know clearly if youโ€™ve been shadowbanned, the reason why and how to appeal,โ€ he tweeted.

โ€œThis is a victory that belongs to the people of Himachal Pradesh. This is an example of what emerges when the Congress party fights unitedly,โ€ he told ANI.
Ashok Gehlot said that the victory of the party in the state was a new beginning for Congress and the people of the state.
โ€œThis is a new beginning for Congress as well as the people of Himachal Pradesh. Rahul Gandhiโ€™s yatra against inflation, and unemployment, will become stronger from Himachal,โ€ he said.
Sachin Pilot, who also arrived here, confided that Sukhu will be able to deliver the promises made during the campaign.
โ€œI believe that Sukhu will be able to deliver all the promises given by Cong. The people of Himachal Pradesh always supported Congress. We all will work together for the development of the state,โ€ he said.
Himachal Pradesh CM designate Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu met State Congress Chief Pratibha Virbhadra Singh at her residence.
Following the meeting, Pratibha said that it is her โ€œprime dutyโ€ to take part in the oath-taking ceremony which will take place today afternoon.
โ€œWhy wonโ€™t I attend his oath-taking ceremony? Of course, I will go. It is my prime duty to be there with him as he takes oath as CM today,โ€ she said.
Mukesh Agnihotri, the leader of the opposition in the outgoing Assembly, will take oath as the Deputy Chief Minister.
The oath-taking ceremony will take place at 1.30 pm on Sunday, Raj Bhavan sources told ANI.
After being chosen as the Chief Minister, the Congress leader said that he is thankful to the Congress and Gandhi family for giving him this opportunity.
