The development is coming a month after Twitter suspended its paid subscription service following a surge in impersonation of companies and celebrities on the platform.
“We’re relaunching Twitter Blue on Monday – subscribe on web for /month or on iOS for /month to get access to subscriber-only features, including the blue checkmark,” the tweet reads.
“When you subscribe you’ll get edit tweet, 1080p video uploads, reader mode, and a blue checkmark (after your account has been reviewed).
“We’ll begin replacing that ‘official’ label with a gold checkmark for businesses, and later in the week a grey checkmark for government and multilateral accounts.
“Subscribers will be able to change their handle, display name or profile photo, but if they do they’ll temporarily lose the blue checkmark until their account is reviewed again.”
