Twitter is reportedly preparing to lay off more of its employees, reducing the company's headcount to about 2,000. The social media firm has also just announced an annual Blue subscription plan.

Twitter has rebranded Blue for Business as 'Verification for Organisations' and has opened the waitlist to use the new system, which allows for affiliated accounts to be linked together.

Twitter is rolling out Blue for Business, a subscription service that helps identify brands and their affiliates. The social media company is now testing the feature with certain businesses.

After Twitter CEO Elon Musk ran a poll to ask the public whether he should step down as the social media company's CEO, over 57% of 17 million accounts said that they want Musk out.

Twitter is set to relaunch its Blue subscription, which will now require people to verify their phone numbers before they can get a checkmark. Its CEO also confirmed plans to increase tweet limits.

Twitter plans to charge $11 per month for its subscription on the iPhone in order to account for the 30% cut that Apple takes from in-app purchases. On the web, however, the same will cost $7.

New Twitter owner Elon Musk is holding off on relaunching its paid verification service until significant impersonations stop. He originally announced that the service will return on November 29.

During a court testimony, Elon Musk stated that he plans to find a new leader to run Twitter. The business mogul has been busy making big changes at the company since he took over last October.

Twitter will relaunch its blue checkmark subscription service on November 29, according to its CEO Elon Musk. This news comes after verified trolls posted inappropriate content on the platform.

If you want to continue using Twitter despite all the drama happening around the platform, a simple Chrome extension (coming soon to Firefox) will help you deal with an influx of impersonators.

It looks like double verified checks are back, this time only for selected company accounts, government officials and news outlets after several verified accounts trolled and spammed on the platform.

Elon Musk has asked Twitter employees to brace for a difficult time ahead due to economic turmoil, while also permanently banning remote work much like his other companies SpaceX and Tesla.

Twitter has dropped the "Official" checkmark less than a full day after its release. CEO Elon Musk also said that the company will retain the original Twitter checkmark to avoid confusion.

It seems that Twitter is aware that giving blue ticks to everyone can become very confusing. To solve this problem, the platform is introducing an "Official" tag on top of the current blue checkmark.

Mastodon, running under the slogan "social networking that's not for sale," is ad-free and offers various microblogging features. The Twitter alternative is growing rapidly since Musk' takeover.

Reportedly, Elon Musk and David Sacks have put their heads together to formulate a new plan for increasing revenue. According to the latest plan, the bird could go behind the bars of a paywall.

As Elon Musk's Twitter allows anyone to wear a blue tick for $8 a month, the company is aiming to prevent impersonations by permanently banning accounts that do not indicate that they are a parody.

Twitter has begun allowing some people to buy the blue checkmark for their profile from today. Availability is limited to five countries right now but, hopefully, this will expand soon.

A new report claims that Twitter is now looking into making the edit button available to more users of the microblogging platform. Currently, the feature is only available to Twitter Blue subscribers.

Elon Musk has revealed that Twitter users will be able to get a blue tick if they buy Twitter Blue for $8 per month. They will get other perks too like priority replies, fewer ads, and more.

Elon Musk has reportedly ordered the Twitter development team to include the verification badge in a new $19.99/month Twitter Blue subscription within a few days or risk losing their jobs.

Twitter has again given its users a peek into the new Edit feature that is likely to be rolled out soon. The capability will initially be available to Twitter Blue subscribers for use.

Twitter has confirmed a few more restrictions that will be put in place for people using editable tweets. The purpose is to prevent misuse of a capability that could lead to the spread of fake news.

Twitter has announced that it has begun testing editable tweets internally, and you may start seeing them on the platform. The feature will be rolled out exclusively to Twitter Blue later this month.

Twitter has told subscribers of its premium Blue service that it's hiking the price of the subscription from $2.99/month to $4.99/month. The price increase has already happened for new subscribers.

Under Elon Musk's leadership, Twitter will always be free for casual users. But Musk is proposing that governments and commercial users may need to pay a small fee to use the micro-blogging site.

In his pitch to the lenders, Elon Musk said he would introduce new ways to monetize tweets to grow business revenue. Under his leadership, users might need to pay a fee to quote a viral tweet.

A reverse engineer has given us a glimpse of how the edit button in Twitter could work when it becomes available. It will reportedly be available for Twitter Blue testers first in a couple of months.

Twitter has revealed that it really is working on edit functionality and that it will come to Twitter Blue before being refined and rolled out to the wider public. Twitter Blue will get it in months.

A researcher uncovered several work-in-progress pages on Twitter indicating that TweetDeck, a powerful Twitter web app, might become a feature locked behind the Twitter Blue subscription paywall.

According to a leak from a credible source, Twitter is working on a new feature that will enable users to write longform articles on the platform. The ability to edit tweets still remains elusive.

Twitter Blue has officially debuted in Canada and Australia, where the monthly subscription costs CA$3.49 or AU$4.49. For that price, subscribers have access to features like undo tweets and more.

Twitter quietly confirmed its new subscription service called Twitter Blue via its app listing on the App Store. It introduces new capabilities such as color themes, custom app icons, and more.

A report claims that "Twitter Blue" is the upcoming premium subscription service for Twitter. It will allegedly cost $2.99/month and will allow users to undo tweets and save them in collections.
