New Delhi: An update from the microblogging network, Twitter stated that users in India who want to get the blue check mark for their accounts will have to pay Rs 900 as part of the monthly plan for mobile phones.
Twitter Blue costs Rs 650 per month for web users and Rs 900 per month for users of the mobile app, according to the social media network.
"Blue subscribers with a verified phone number will get a blue checkmark once approved," Twitter said.
The microblogging platform has also rolled out an annual plan that will cost Rs 6,800 for users on the web.
Last year, Twitter CEO Elon Musk announced that Twitter Blue will cost USD 8 (about Rs 660) per month, but it will be priced differently for various markets.
Twitter further said it will soon prioritise tweets from verified users. It will continue showing advertisements to the Blue subscribers but it will be 50 per cent less than general users.
Twitter Blue subscribers will also get to edit their tweets up to five times within 30 minutes, upload longer and full high-definition videos and link profile pictures to NFTs owned by the user.
"Subscription plans are prepaid, non-refundable (unless required by law), and automatically renew at the end of each subscription period unless the subscription is cancelled following the cancellation procedures," Twitter said.
