After the massive layoffs, the microblogging site is releasing a new update that reveals Twitter verification subscription details. The update is currently only available for iOS users to start with. The update states that the Blue tick subscription will be available for $7.99 monthly.

"Your content will get priority raking in replies, mentions, and search. This helps the visibility of scams, spam and bots," the update stated. Twitter currently offers blue tick verification at no cost. The company asks users to apply for verification by submitting the relevant details. After which, the dedicated Twitter team checks the details and assigns a blue tick to the users.
