Twitter Blue Benefits Introduction
(Translated from About Twitter Blue) The latest benefits are subject to the website.
Twitter Blue is a subscription service offered by Twitter that provides additional features to enhance and customize the user experience, in addition to the blue checkmark. These features include tweet editing, bookmark folders, custom app icons, NFT profile pictures, themes, and more. Additionally, Twitter Blue users have early access to new features and enjoy more privileges and control.
Twitter Blue offers features that enhance and customize the user's Twitter experience. These features include:
- Tweet Editing: Within 30 minutes of posting a tweet, users can make limited changes to the original tweet or quoted tweet.
- 50% Fewer Ads: Reduces the number of ads displayed on the home timeline by 50%.
- Longer Tweets: Allows Blue subscribers to post tweets with up to 10,000 characters. Longer tweets can also be written in quoted tweets or replies. Standard features such as media uploads, polls, and the use of hashtags still apply. Everyone can read longer tweets, but only Blue subscribers can create them.
- Text Formatting: Users can now use bold and italic text in tweets on twitter.com.
- Bookmark Folders: Allows Twitter Blue subscribers to group and organize bookmarked tweets into folders for faster discovery in the future. Twitter Blue allows unlimited bookmarks and bookmark folders, which are always private.
- Custom App Icons: Allows users to change the display of the Twitter app icon on their mobile devices. Choose from several colorful options. Regularly check your settings for new available appearances within a limited time.
- NFT Profile Pictures: Add an NFT as one of the custom Twitter profile pictures to showcase the NFTs you own and display a hexagonal shape on your account to identify you as the owner.
- Themes: Choose different color themes to beautify the application interface.
- Custom Navigation Bar: Allows users to choose the most important content and destinations, keeping at least 2 and up to 6 items in the bottom navigation bar or restore the default settings. Or if you change your mind, you can restore it to the default settings.
- "Spaces" Tab: We are testing a new interface in Spaces to make it easier to access audio content. The new Spaces tab is a place where you can find podcasts, themed audio stations, recorded Spaces, and live Spaces. This feature test requires the language setting in the app to be displayed in English. Currently, this app is only available to Twitter Blue users on iOS and Android devices, as well as some users worldwide.
- Top Articles: Top Articles is a shortcut to the most shared articles in your network. This feature automatically lists the articles shared by the people you follow and the people they follow, making it easy to find the types of content you want to read.
- Reading Mode: Normally, we see tweets with limited characters, so they are divided into multiple parts. With Reading Mode enabled, they are merged into one.
- Tweet Undo: After sending a tweet, you have the opportunity to preview and modify the tweet before it becomes visible to other Twitter users. Once the undo period is over, the tweet will be visible to your followers, and you can leave it or delete it as usual.
- Priority Ranking in Conversations and Searches: The ranking of tweets that interact with you will be slightly higher. In addition, your replies will be boosted to bring them closer to the top. Twitter Blue subscribers will be displayed in the "Verified" tab of the notification tab of other users, highlighting the replies, mentions, and engagements of Blue subscribers.
- Longer Video Upload Time: Twitter Blue subscribers can upload videos up to 60 minutes and 2GB file size (1080p) (only on twitter.com). Learn more here.
Update: Soon, 5GB of large capacity will be allowed.
- SMS Two-Factor Authentication: As a Twitter Blue user, you can complete two-factor authentication via SMS to add an extra layer of protection to your account. Please note that the availability of text message two-factor authentication for Twitter Blue may vary by country and carrier.
Not all features are available on all platforms and locations. Twitter Blue features may change periodically/occasionally as we continue to improve our service.
Let's experience the Reading Mode in the benefits:
This type of long tweet, 1/n, is very common.
Click 📕 to enable Reading Mode.
Ta-da! It's all displayed in one, which is great for heavy Twitter users who find the old mode cluttered.

Getting Started with Subscription#
It is recommended to read the Buyer Terms of Service for Twitter Blue before subscribing.
Develop a good habit of reading the "Terms of Service" and "Privacy Policy" first, regardless of the subscription service!
The prices are almost uniformly priced in each region (converted to US dollars), so the prices are not significantly different. However, in some regions, there may be a difference of about 5-8 yuan when converted to Chinese yuan, and local residents can take advantage of these discounts.
Although the price of subscribing to Twitter Blue may not save as much money as Disney or Netflix, saving money every month multiplied by 12 can save the cost of a cup of milk tea or even a meal.
Twitter Blue supports subscriptions in over 80 countries/regions. This is the Twitter price list, and annual payment saves 12% compared to monthly payment.
Taking the US region as an example, $84 per year ≈ 576 CNY, CAD 105 per year in Canada ≈ 522.8 CNY, and ¥10,280 in Japan ≈ 528 CNY. This already has a difference of 50 yuan! What is the concept of 50 yuan? Several cups of milk tea, several lunches, a quarter of Netflix, a year of Spotify membership in Pakistan, and so on...
Because I happen to be on a business trip in Japan, the displayed prices are for Japan.
- Open the Twitter web page, click on Twitter Blue, and subscribe.

Of course, you can also use Android/Apple in-app purchases, but this requires an additional payment of about 30% in-app tax (depending on personal preference).
