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.
Twitter has pushed version 9.34.3 of its iOS client to the App Store. According to the release notes, users can buy Twitter Blue for $7.99 – this will give customers a blue checkmark “just like the celebrities, companies, and politicians you already follow.” It’s still early days for this method of acquiring a blue checkmark, so it’s no surprise that it’s only available in the U.
