There is definitely some news on Twitter at the moment. After the certification of accounts and the campaign for ad tracking, the social network has been working on a sort of subscription service since last summer. According to Jane Manchun Wong, who often searches for new features in popular apps, the “Blue” subscription is imminent.
Twitter will offer a paid version
The social network’s subscription service might be called “Twitter Blue” and right now it is priced at $ 2.99 per month. There will be a “Collections” section which allows users to save and organize their favorite tweets to make them easier to find at a later date.
Twitter is calling their upcoming Subscription Service “Twitter Blue”, priced at $2.99/month for now, including paid features like:

Importantly, this offer will also include a “Cancel Tweets” feature, which will give customers a short time to “Cancel” a tweet with an error before it is actually published on the social network. The cancellation period appears to be customizable, so users can set whatever time they think is right to possibly respond. This is reminiscent of the Gmail option that allows you to cancel sending an email for a few seconds.
Users will also be able to select where the ‘Cancel Tweet’ feature will be applied, with options that include original tweets, replies, tweetstorms, and quotes from tweets.

Wong says Twitter is working on a tiered subscription pricing model, logically with more or less premium features.
CEO Jack Dorsey said last July that Twitter would set a “very high bar” for when it asks customers to “pay for certain aspects of Twitter.” It’s unclear when Twitter’s subscription feature might roll out, or what it will actually cost when it launches. The bets are off and, in the meantime, let us know what you think of this business model as well as your thoughts on what options should be included.
