In a related news, Twitter has started removing blue check marks for users who do not have a Twitter Blue subscription. Several users including prominent personalities like Shah Rukh Khan, MS Dhoni, Roger Federer, former US President Donald Trump and others have lost the blue check for their accounts.
In March, Twitter announced that come April 1 only paid subscribers will have verified marks for their accounts. This means that a user has to be a Twitter Blue subscriber to get a blue check mark for his/her account.
Twitter Blue subscription costs ₹900 per month for both Android and iOS devices. For web, the pricing is ₹650 per month. Buyers can also opt for an annual subscription priced at ₹6,800 on the web. Annual subscription cost on iOS and Android is ₹9,400 per year.
