In February this year, Twitter announced new features to generate revenue and help users make money on the platform. At the time, the company detailed a couple of features like Twitter Communities, Super Follow, and Safety Mode. Shortly thereafter, the platform started testing an undo send feature as part of its upcoming paid subscription service. Earlier this month, Twitter revealed details for another new feature, called Ticketed Spaces, that would let users with at least 1,000 followers host Spaces with an entry ticket. Now, the company has finally listed its upcoming subscription service, called Twitter Blue, as an in-app purchase.
According to Jane Manchun Wong, the Twitter Blue subscription service will cost users $2.99 per month and it will give users access to a couple of new features. At the moment, the service includes two new features — color themes and custom app icons. The company plans to add a third feature, called Reader Mode, to the service soon. The Color Themes feature offers will let users pick one of six available color themes, while the custom app icons feature comes with eight icon choices. As seen in the screenshot attached below, the upcoming Reader Mode will help users easily follow threads “by turning them into easy-to-read text.”
