Twitter has officially introduced its new paid subscription service Twitter Blue, with a series of new features. As opposed to the free service, which the company will not be eliminated, the paid deal will let people bookmark their tweets and create folders. They will also be able to revise their Tweet before it goes live, and even undo it, with a customizable timer of up to 30 seconds. Lastly, Reader Mode will make it easier for users to read long threads, by turning them into text form.
There will in addition be perks, such as customizable app icons for the device home screen, fun colour themes for the Twitter app, and access to subscription customer service.
The service will launch first in Australian and Canada, for AUD 4.49 and CAD 3.49 respectively. The company said this initial launch will help it “gain a deeper understanding” of what customers want. More features and perks will then be launched, according to feedback.
