Twitter users with over 1 million followers have their blue verification badges back. The users declined to pay for the blue tick leading to the loss of the badge on Friday which was the deadline for the Twitter Blue subscription fee. The “bird” app in 2022 announced that users would be forced to pay a monthly fee under Twitter Blue to have the badge (blue checkmark). “On April 1, we will begin winding down our legacy verified program and removing legacy verified checkmarks,” Twitter said. Under Twitter Blue, subscribers will enjoy priorities in replies, mentions and searches.
