Twitter Blue is an opt-in, paid subscription that adds a blue checkmark to your account and provides early access to select features such as editing tweets. In India, the subscription is available for Rs 650 per month for web and Rs 900 per month for Android/iOS.
All Twitter Blue features will be available immediately, except for the blue checkmark, which will appear on eligible profiles after review to ensure that subscribed accounts meet all eligibility criteria. In addition to the blue checkmark, the Twitter Blue feature provides customers with a way to enhance and customize their Twitter experience. These powerful controls are designed to help personalize Twitter, and give you early access to our latest features before they’re available to everyone.
