Social Media News Desk!! After making its paid Twitter Blue with verification service available to all, the Elon Musk-run company is now working on a feature that will allow users to hide the blue checkmark. The app’s researcher, Alessandro Palluzzi, posted on Twitter that the micro-blogging platform is working on a control panel for verification settings. There will be an option, show or hide your blue checkmark on your profile. Twitter continues to work on the ability to control everything related to account verification and identity by adding the option to show or hide your blue checkmark on your profile, Paluji said. Twitter was yet to comment on this upcoming feature. As per reports, this feature can help if a tweet by a Twitter Blue user goes viral and gets flooded with hate comments. It can also help people who don’t want to advertise that they paid for the blue check-mark.
However, it’s hard to predict whether hiding the blue checkmark will actually protect users as people can still find tweets from verified users. Musk announced on Friday that Twitter would remove all legacy blue verified check marks for both individual users and organizations starting April 1. Twitter Blue will cost Rs 9,400 per year (or Rs 900 per month) in India for individual users. Twitter Blue is now available globally and users can get Blue Verified for $7 a month if they sign up via a web browser. The company said, on April 1, we will begin discontinuing our legacy verified program and removing the legacy verified check mark. To have their Blue Checkmark on Twitter, people can sign up for Twitter Blue.
