About Twitter Blue

Twitter Blue is an opt-in, paid monthly subscription that adds a blue checkmark to your account and offers early access to select new features, like Edit Tweet. 

The new Twitter Blue is currently available for purchase on web for $8/month or $84/year, in-app on iOS for $11/month or $114.99/year, or in-app on Android for $11/monthor $114.99/year (or your local pricing) in the New subscriptions to Twitter Blue are currently available on web, iOS, or Android only in the United States, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Brazil, Indonesia, India, Saudi Arabia, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Netherlands, Poland, Ireland, Belgium, Sweden, Romania, Czech Republic, Finland, Denmark, Greece, Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Slovakia, Latvia, Slovenia, Estonia, Croatia, Luxembourg, Malta, Cyprus, Turkey, Mexico, Thailand, Philippines, South Africa, Argentina, South Korea, Egypt, Nigeria, and Malaysia, with plans to expand.

Note: New Twitter accounts will not be able to sign up for Twitter Blue for 90 days. Twitter accounts that haven’t been active within the last 30 days or that have changed their profile photo, display name, or username (aka @handle) within the previous 3 days may also be unable to sign up. Subscribers will also need a verified phone number. We are working on an updated process for new Twitter accounts in order to help minimize impersonation risks and may impose and change waiting periods for new accounts without notice.

For now, you will have all the same features as new Twitter Blue verified accounts, except that you will not get a blue checkmark nor will your Tweets be prioritized in the verified section of the Notifications timeline.

To subscribe on web, go to twitter.com and select More > Twitter Blue > Subscribe. If you haven’t already, you’ll be prompted to verify your phone number. Confirm subscription payment. 

To subscribe on iOS or Android, go to the profile menu > Twitter Blue > Subscribe. If you haven’t already, you’ll be prompted to verify your phone number. Follow the in-app purchase instructions to complete your subscription.

Twitter Blue subscriptions are paid on a monthly or annual basis on web, iOS, or Android with localized pricing starting at $8/month or $84/year in available countries. If Twitter Blue is available for purchase for you, you’ll find the regional currency price information on web and in-app on iOS and Android. Learn more about plans and pricing in available countries here.

All Twitter Blue subscriptions are non-refundable, unless required by law. That includes subscriptions linked to Twitter accounts that have been suspended, or that you have lost access to for any other reason. This also includes situations where certain subscription features are temporarily or permanently unavailable. 

Note: Contact Apple or Android directly for all app related refund and cancellation issues.

An active Twitter Blue subscription adds a blue checkmark to your account and offers early access to select new features. The features included in Twitter Blue are subject to change at any time as we continue to improve the service.

We strive to show you the content that we think you’d be most interested in and contributes to the conversation in a meaningful way, such as content that is relevant, credible, and safe. Now, people on Twitter will see a slight preference for replies from Blue verified accounts over other replies. We’re currently testing the levels at which we prioritize content from Blue subscribers relative to the other factors we consider in conversation rankings.

NFTs (short for Non-Fungible Tokens) are unique digital items, such as artwork, with proof of ownership that’s stored on a blockchain (a digital database that’s publicly accessible). After a temporary connection to your crypto wallet that allows you to set up an NFT as your profile picture, your digital asset displays in a special hexagon shape that identifies you as the owner of that NFT. Right now Twitter only supports static image NFTs (JPEG, PNG) minted on the Ethereum blockchain (for example ERC-721 and ERC-1155 tokens). You can learn more about setting up an NFT profile picture here.

Crypto wallets allow you to hold and transact (buy, sell, convert, send, etc.) with tokens owned by your public wallet address. This includes NFTs which are a type of token.

A crypto wallet has one or more public addresses that are sometimes called “accounts.” This address is public, so anyone who knows your wallet address will be able to see all of your wallet’s transactions and holdings. 

To set up an NFT profile picture, you’ll need to connect your Twitter account to a crypto wallet that holds the NFT you’d like to select. 

Twitter currently supports: Argent, Coinbase Wallet, Ledger Live, MetaMask, Rainbow, Trust Wallet

Setting up an NFT profile picture means people can associate your Twitter account with your connected wallet's public crypto wallet address. This means your Twitter account will be associated with your current and historical crypto wallet transactions and holdings, including all other NFTs in that wallet, because this information is all available on the public blockchain. A couple of things to be aware of when connecting a crypto wallet to your Twitter account: 

Twitter will never request funds from your crypto wallet. You should remain vigilant, and check all incoming requests to your wallet. Don’t accept any transfer requests unless it is a known transaction to you. 

Twitter will never request your private key or seed phrase, and you should never share your private keys or seed phrases anywhere, including on Twitter.

Although we won’t maintain an ongoing connection with your crypto wallet, we store your public address to ensure that it continues to hold the NFT you set as your profile picture.

You can only set your Twitter profile picture to an NFT that’s been published onto the blockchain as a transaction (i.e. purchase, sale, or transfer).

Note: Some marketplaces, including OpenSea, offer a feature that allows people to create NFTs for free (also referred to as gas-free minting). These free NFTs won’t appear as optional profile pictures until they’ve been published to the blockchain through a transaction.

If you sell or transfer the NFT in your profile picture, the hexagon shape of the profile picture reverts to a circle. The image remains the same as the NFT you previously owned, but it won’t display any NFT details to suggest ownership.

If you’d like to display another NFT, select from your NFTs in your wallet or link another wallet.

Until now, Twitter used the blue checkmark to indicate active, notable, and authentic accounts of public interest that Twitter had independently verified based on certain requirements.

Now the blue checkmark may mean two different things: either that an account was verified under the previous verification criteria (active, notable, and authentic), or that the account has an active subscription to Twitter Blue. Accounts that receive the blue checkmark as part of a Twitter Blue subscription will not undergo review to confirm that they meet the active, notable and authentic criteria that was used in the previous process. 

Twitter Verified Organizations is a new service we’re testing for corporate entities on Twitter. Subscribers to this service receive a gold checkmark which designates the account as belonging to an official business on Twitter.

Through Twitter Verified Organizations, businesses can affiliate other accounts with their account. Affiliated accounts receive a label with the image from the business's profile picture.

We are currently piloting this with a number of select businesses on Twitter.

The gold checkmark indicates that an account is an official business on Twitter through Verified Organizations.

Learn more about profile labels on Twitter and what they mean.

In addition to blue checkmarks, Twitter may also apply visual identity signals like labels and badges on account profiles to provide more context about — and help distinguish — different types of accounts.  The Official profile label may be applied to government accounts (institutional accounts, elected or appointed officials, and multilateral organizations)*, certain political organizations such as political parties, commercial companies including business partners, major brands, media outlets and publishers, and some other public figures.

*State-affiliated media and government accounts that play a role as a geopolitical or official Government communication channel display a unique label. Learn more about profile labels on Twitter and what they mean. 

Twitter Blue subscribers receive dedicated support for subscription-specific issues, only. That could look like help with managing a Twitter Blue subscription, how to access your Twitter Blue account or settings, and Twitter Blue enrollment issues. Other issues could include troubleshooting special features only available to Twitter Blue subscribers. 

Our goals include providing the best customer support in our industry. We’re committed to treating everyone fairly and equitably. The Twitter Rules won’t apply differently to subscribers.

Once subscribed to Twitter Blue, changes to your profile photo, display name, or username (@handle) will result in the loss of the blue checkmark until the account is validated as continuing to meet our requirements, and no further changes will be allowed during this review period. Learn more about checkmark requirements here.

We are committed to making Twitter a safe place for everyone to participate in the public conversation. That’s why policy enforcement issues and reports by subscribers will continue to be handled by existing enforcement teams, under the current review process.

Free Twitter isn’t going away. Twitter Blue simply offers an opt-in layer of customization for your Twitter experience.

Like the existing Twitter Blue subscription, our new monthly subscription doesn’t currently offer an ad-free experience, although we are working on a feature that will reduce the number of ads you see. 

Twitter Blue is a completely opt-in experience, and these initial features were designed for a specific segment of engaged users. Ultimately our goal is to provide enough value through premium features that people feel that it is worth paying for. And we hope to offer fewer ads for Twitter Blue subscribers in the future.

Sorry, we aren't offering free trials of Twitter Blue at this time.

If you ever need to cancel Twitter Blue, you can manage your subscription from your Twitter Blue settings on the platform where you subscribed. Your Twitter Blue features will expire at the end of your billing cycle.

To avoid further charges, cancel your Twitter Blue subscription at least 24 hours before the auto-renewal period. Canceling won’t give you a refund for amounts already paid.

Note: If you subscribe to the new Twitter Blue and cancel your subscription, your blue checkmark will remain until the end of the subscription term you paid for, unless your account is suspended or the blue checkmark is otherwise removed by Twitter for any reason.

The existing version of Twitter Blue will no longer be available for new subscribers. Existing subscribers can cancel at any time on the platform they subscribed on, and will be provided with information about when their existing subscriptions will automatically expire. 

This is one important step we’re taking to improve the quality of conversations on Twitter. These changes are designed to reduce fake, untrustworthy accounts, and promote a higher quality Twitter where people can join and engage safely on our platform.
