Twitter is an incredible space where you can follow and interact with interesting people and communities. Among social media platforms, it’s one of the easiest ways to reach users organically and lets you share thoughts and ideas concisely.

But the platform also offers a subscription called Twitter Blue with a range of perks for users. Here’s what you should know about the subscription plan and how to subscribe to Twitter Blue if it entices you.

What Is Twitter Blue?

Twitter Blue is a monthly subscription that lets you experience Twitter in a new and different way. Compared to regular Twitter, Twitter Blue gives you additional perks.

These perks include the ability to edit tweets, verify an NFT profile picture, post longer and higher-quality videos, create longer tweets (up to 25,000 characters long), prioritized ranking (in conversations and search), a higher limit for viewing tweets (reading 10,000 posts per day), and folders for organizing your bookmarked tweets.

You also get that blue verified checkmark on Twitter, see fewer ads between tweets, and have early access to upcoming features.

Should these features make you want to try Twitter Blue out for yourself, there are ways that you can sign up for it: on the web browser and mobile app (on Android and iOS).

How to Sign Up to Twitter Blue on a Web Browser

If the free methods for enhancing your Twitter experience aren’t enough, you can subscribe to Twitter Blue by following these steps:

1. Go to Twitter’s website and log in to your account, in case you haven’t.
2. On the left panel, select Verified.
3. Twitter will ask for your identity (whether you’re a business or an organization). Select the Individual option and click Subscribe.
4. Select whether you want to pay for Twitter Blue annually ($84, with a 12% discount) or monthly ($8) on the next page.

   

5. Next, tap the price button at the bottom to go to the payment page.

   

6. Finally, enter your card details and select Subscribe to join Twitter Blue.

You used to need to go through account menus to access Twitter Blue, but now it’s in the column of icons on the left side of the window. Click it to learn more about Twitter Blue and sign up by selecting a plan and making a payment. It’s that easy.

How to Sign Up to Twitter Blue on Android or iOS

Alternatively, you can also sign up for Twitter Blue directly on your Twitter for Android/iOS app. On mobile, Twitter Blue costs $11/month and $114.99/year (with a 13% discount applied). The steps for joining Twitter Blue are also similar on both platforms.

Here’s how you can subscribe to Twitter Blue on mobile:

1. From the homepage, tap on your profile picture in the upper left corner to open your profile menu. This is a compressed version of the menu along the left side of the screen in the desktop version.
2. On the revealed panel, tap Twitter Blue.
3. This will take you to a page for selecting your preferred Twitter subscription plan (monthly or annually). Select the appropriate option and tap the price button at the bottom.
4. You’ll be prompted to authorize the payment via a pop-up (via Google Pay on Android and App Store on iOS).

You may be required to verify yourself before the payment is authorized. After that, you’ll officially be a Twitter Blue member.

Is Twitter Blue Worth It?

Is it finally time to start paying for Twitter? It depends. Unfortunately, Twitter Blue still doesn’t let you do things like completely disable timeline ads. Twitter Blue certainly lacks a few elements that many users will no doubt want to pay for.

On the other hand, many brands and people will definitely benefit from the ability to edit tweets. In addition, the bookmark function and reduced ad exposure may well be worth the money if it keeps you organized and helps you avoid buying things you don’t need. And don’t forget, this is the new fastest path to the coveted blue check.
