This new subscription service provides users with multiple new features, key of which is the ability to undo tweets and reading articles without advertisements. With Twitter’s new Blue subscription the social media app aims to diversify its revenue sources.

The new subscription service will be available for $2.99, Ā $3.49 CAD or $4.49 AUD ( approximately Rs 222) in the United States of America, with the ability to read articles free of ads, longer video uploads and easy customization of the navigation bar in the Twitter app.

What Does Twitter Blue Have to Offer?

The biggest feature however is undoubtedly the ability to undo tweets, since, with this new feature, subscribers will have 60 seconds to preview and edit a tweet before it becomes public, acting as a weird alternative to the Edit option that many users have been requesting for since quite some time.

Twitter earns most of its money from selling adverts, but with this new plan, it is looking for a more consistent source of revenue, which it is doing by selling certain features to regular users of the platform.
