Twitter Confirms Plans for 'Twitter Blue' $2.99 Monthly Subscription Service

[MacRumors]

Twitter appears to have mistakenly confirmed its plans to launch a new subscription tier called "Twitter Blue," with the new purchase option now listed in the iOS App Store.

Under In-App Purchases, there's now a "Twitter Blue" option that's priced at $2.99, though the feature does not appear to be live in the iOS app at this time.

The Twitter Blue in-app purchase option was discovered by researcher Jane Manchun Wong, who has previously shared details on Twitter Blue that were found buried in the Twitter for iOS code.

Twitter Blue will include an "Undo Tweet" option that holds a tweet for a set period of time before sending it out so you can choose to undo it, and a "Reader Mode" that makes it easier to read long threads.

There are also new color themes to choose from and custom app icons, plus a Collections feature for saving and organizing favorite tweets to make them easier to find in the future.

It's not clear when Twitter Blue will become available, but with the in-app purchase option live in the App Store, it signals that the feature is set to launch in the near future. When asked for more information, Twitter said it had no comment at this time.

They're reportedly also working on Twitter Orange, which will cost $250/mo and will let you see you know who's tweets.

Someone needs to close down this garbage, along with all the other scummy social media platforms

Hardest of diamond-density passes

If I used Social Media, there is no way I would pay for this service. I definitely wouldn't
pay to argue with strangers over typical media drivel.

 

[jamisonbaines]

will it remove the ads?
i liked twitter before they had to start monetizing.

 

[RavynArcadia]

Hard pass. Not worth it even if it cost a buck.

 

[Mr. Dee]

Uh, no thanks!

 

[KaliYoni]

I think I'll just stop using Twitter altogether and donate another $35/year to [insert name of your favorite non-profit, mine is Médecins Sans Frontières].

Twitter need to focus on stopping racist abuse above everything else, or they will find government sanctions imposed around the world.

I love how out of touch Twitter is with the actual needs of their users. Such as editable tweets ('undo' is not the same).
The company seems like a cult tech hybrid, it's fascinating

Sorry Jack Dorsey, I don't think you need any more money.

Why pay for it, when you can do it for free right here on mac rumours 😃😂

 

[Moonlight]

Twitter Blue, so you can make twitter red?

For all intent and purposes, MR is my media interaction.

It is amazing to me how so many people are caught up in Social Media and allow it to have a hold on their life.

For Social Media addicts, this new Twitter subscription may be very popular with them.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Hard pass.

 

[Nugget]

I'll pay this if it reduces/eliminates ads.

 

[nfl46]

Naw, I’m good. $36/year could go towards something else.

 

[BornAgainMac]

They purposely avoided branding it with the color green.

Anyone paying for social media, needs to have their brain examined and seen by a shrink daily. 🤦‍♂️

 

[DoogH]

Moving away from clickbait monetization is good for society.

I am not sure this alone is worth it, but if they merge it with "Scroll" like they mentioned, then that would be a great deal.

 

[Apple_Robert]

Naw, I’m good. $36/year could go towards something else.

Like more Mac or iOS apps.

 

[brendu]

Ah so now I can pay to have Twitter block me from tweeting factual information they don’t want people knowing about. No thanks.
