Those who want a blue tick will have to pay a monthly fee of Rs 650 for Twitter Blue on the web, while Android and iOS users will have to pay Rs 900 per month. For an annual plan on the web, users will have to pay Rs 6,800. The blue tick was originally meant to verify the authenticity of accounts belonging to public figures, but it has now become a symbol of status on the platform.

Elon Musk has been making several changes to Twitter since becoming its new boss, and this move is one of them. While some users may be disappointed with this decision, it remains to be seen how it will affect the platform in the long run. Will this change make Twitter more exclusive and elitist, or will it enhance the credibility of verified accounts? Only time will tell.
