San Francisco. Twitter has been in constant discussion ever since the social media platform Twitter was acquired by billionaire businessman Elon Musk. Sometimes with BlueTick and sometimes with its moderation policy. Meanwhile, there is news that Twitter Blue is going to be launched soon in India. It is reported that the platform can charge Rs 719 per month from Indian users for this. Although the official price has not been announced, but some users have started receiving messages for subscription. The company on Wednesday launched Twitter Blue in the US, UK and some other countries.
Let us tell you that it has been claimed in media reports that some users in India are being asked to subscribe to Twitter Blue. In the coming few days, this service can be fully available in India. There are reports that $ 7.99 is being charged for this service in other countries including America, Britain. First of all, iPhone users will get this facility in India.
What is Twitter Blue after all?
Getting Bluetick on Twitter was a big deal in itself before Elon Musk acquired Twitter. Most of the Twitter users used to go through the process of verification to get the blue tick. But now under Twitter Blue, users can get the badge without going through any verification process. Company owner Elon Musk also recently said that Twitter Blue users will get priority on the platform. The special thing is that the matter regarding this service has always been controversial. Many believe that Twitter is giving verification badges to all users, who can misuse the feature.
However, let us tell you that regarding the Twitter Blue Tick, Elon Musk had earlier said that the service fee outside the US would be decided on the basis of the purchasing power of the country. Along with this, there was speculation that its price in India could be less than $ 7.99. However, going by the prompts that some Indian users are getting, the opposite seems to be the case and users may have to pay Rs 719 per month.
What is the planning of ‘Ku’ now?
Let us tell you that like Twitter, India has its own indigenous app which is known as ‘Koo’. Made in India social media platform ‘Koo’ will not charge any fee for verification badge. Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the company Aprameya Radhakrishna said this. He also slammed Twitter for first creating bots and now charging users for verification. Significantly, Koo is the main competitor of Twitter in India.
