Twitter's premium subscription service, Twitter Blue, has finally launched in India, much to the excitement of people who want to get the verified checkmark
Twitter Blue is available for both website and app users, offering them a range of exclusive features to enhance their Twitter experience
Twitter Blue is priced at Rs 650 per month for subscribers that pay via the social media company’s website
Twitter Blue pricing on the Android and iOS app is different compared to the website. The subscriber will have to shell out Rs 900 per month, which is Rs 250 higher than the usual fee on the website
Twitter allows subscribers to save some money using their Annual plan. The annual fee for Twitter Blue comes down to Rs 6,800, which will be Rs 1,000 cheaper than the monthly fee for monthly payments
Twitter Blue offers features like the blue checkmark, the ability to edit tweets, longer video posts, organised bookmarks, custom app icons, and the option to use an NFT as a profile picture
Twitter Blue is available for users in US at $8 (roughly Rs 660) on the website and $11 (roughly Rs 910) for users on the Android and iOS app
When Twitter Blue launched globally in November, CEO Elon Musk promised that the regional prices would be decided in accordance with the country's purchasing power parity but the pricing is almost the same in both countries
Subscribing to Twitter Blue on the website is as simple as clicking on the 'Twitter Blue' option in the left column. You can then select your preferred plan (annual or monthly)
For those using the Twitter Android or iOS app, simply swipe right to access the menu, click on 'Twitter Blue', and subscribe to the premium service
