Let’s see the capabilities of Twitter Blue.
Users with the Twitter Blue tier can go back and make a limited amount of edits to their tweets for 30 minutes after they’ve been posted. “Put your associated media in a different sequence, tag someone else, or change your status with it.
Currently, you can only edit your own Tweets or Tweets that have been quoted “Just read Twitter’s explanation.
As an added perk, subscribers can create custom folders to “quickly discover later” on Tweets they’ve bookmarked. Subscribers may also customize the look of the Twitter app by selecting from a variety of “colorful alternatives,” including the ability to modify the icon that appears on their home screens.
To facilitate “rapid access to the material,” Twitter Blue allows users to exercise a “custom navigation” feature that lets them select what displays in the navigation bar.
The “Reader” feature was created to “help you enjoy your posts with less noise,” making it far more pleasant to read through lengthy threads. A further feature that can be used by subscribers is to alter the font size.
Additionally, users can now undo their tweets up to a certain point before they become public, and the character limit for tweets has been increased to 4,000 from 140. “Not quite an edit* button, but you can examine and modify your Tweet before it goes public. After the Undo window closes, your followers can see the Tweet and you can choose to leave it or remove it as usual on Twitter “Twitter provided an explanation on its ‘Help Center page.

Saga of Elon Musk and Twitter’s Blue color
With his April 2022 acquisition of a 9.2 percent investment in Twitter, Elon Musk surpassed all other investors to become the company’s top stakeholder, citing SEC records. As I said, he’s on the board now. For $7.99 a month, Musk’s new Twitter Blue allowed users to access the verified “blue checkmark.” “opt-in, paid subscription” is how Twitter describes it in their help center.
One big flaw with Musk’s “Blue Verified” was that anyone with $7.99 could buy a blue tick and pose as a real user. The pandemonium that ensued after the subscription rollout was highlighted in a BBC article. When things became crazy, they paused the blue checkmark membership.
Holding off relaunch of Blue Verified until there is high confidence of stopping impersonation.

Will probably use different color check for organizations than individuals.
There was a complete overhaul of Twitter Blue and its ecosystem of features and verification badges on that fateful day in 2022. Subscriptions purchased through the website now cost $8 per month, while those bought through the iOS app cost $11. Different sorts of accounts are represented by different colored ticks. In addition to Undo Tweet, Themes, and Bookmarks, Twitter Blue included further customization options.
Twitter Blue subscribers did not have access to ad-free content. Nonetheless, Twitter promised that paid users will only be exposed to 50% as many adverts as the general public. Tweet Blue users get 50% less advertising in their Following and For You timelines, it said.
As part of this, two badges—the traditional blue verification mark and the new gold mark for business accounts on Twitter—were established. Additionally, the business introduced a new “Grey” verification badge for official government Twitter accounts.
