At the beginning of this month, Twitter introduced its ads revenue sharing program for creators and initiated payments to some of them.

Twitter announced that it will soon implement changes "to reduce spam in Direct Messages" as part of their ongoing efforts.

A Twitter user posted, "My DMs have just become bot central. Never been this bad. "

Twitter CEO Elon Musk wrote on the micro-blogging platform "Twitter Blue Verified subscribers can now upload 2 hour videos (8GB)!,”

The verification badges that were obtained by people under the old system -from the handles of those who have not subscribed to Blue subscription.

After removing blue ticks for all the users who did not subscribe to Twitter Blue, the micro-blogging site is now giving them back to users with over a million followers.

Several celebrities including Bachchan, Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli and others had lost their blue ticks.

Twitter earlier placed the 'publicly-funded' label to the BBC account and applied the 'government-funded' label to US-based NPR.

The only individual Twitter users who have verified blue checkmarks are those paying for Twitter Blue, which costs USD 8/month via the web and USD 11/month through in-app payment on iOS and Android.

The checks — which used to mean the account was verified by Twitter to be who it says it is — began disappearing from these users' profiles late morning Pacific Time.

The Twitter blue tick served as a way of protecting well-known individuals from impersonation and tackling false information.

Almost all legacy Blue check marks were intact on Monday, two days after the Musk deadline.

Twitter Blue in US would costs USD 8/month via the web and USD 11/month through the in-app payment on iOS and Android.

Some White House officials, like the President and Vice President, will likely continue to be verified with a grey checkmark.

"While $11 million is a small figure, we should caveat that this estimate does not cover web-based subscriptions. The figures cover the 20 markets where Blue has been launched prior to this week," the report mentioned.

Twitter Blue is now available globally and the users can get Blue Verified for $7 a month if they sign up via web browser, Musk announced.

The Twitter Blue service is now available in Saudi Arabia, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal and Spain, reports TechCrunch.

Wonder how? Well, you just have to tap on the check mark on someone’s profile and it will tell you if they got the checkmark the old way or the new way.

A tweet from the 'Twitter Support' account read, "We're not currently putting an "Official" label on accounts but we are aggressively going after impersonation and deception."

According to The Verge, employees got their first deadline from Elon Musk -- meet his deadline for starting paid verification on the platform or leave immediately.
