How to subscribe to Twitter Blue in Germany

The launch of Twitter Blue has caused a stir in the US. Now the premium subscription has also started in Germany. We’ll show you how to subscribe to Twitter Blue.

After the takeover by Elon Musk, Twitter went haywire. First the management had to believe in it and leave the company – shortly afterwards it hit a large part of the workforce.

Last year, Elon Musk also questioned the verification of accounts on the platform. He wanted to make the coveted blue tick available to all users. So he decided to abolish the “current system of rule that determines who has a blue tick and who doesn’t”.

This was followed by the introduction of Twitter Blue, which is to regulate verification in the future. The subscription offer is now also available in Germany, like Country Manager Jolanta Baboulidis announced on Twitter has.

How to subscribe to Twitter Blue

According to the company, Twitter Blue is intended to help “take the Twitter experience to the next level”. Users should have access to premium functions with which they can “customize” their account.

It only takes a few steps to subscribe to Twitter Blue. This can be done both in the app and in the browser. For some users, the option is not yet displayed, but should be available in the coming days.

On Twitter.com, the Twitter Blue option is directly accessible from the sidebar on the left of the screen or from the profile menu. If you select Twitter Blue, A window opens with the options for the subscription.

Annual plan or monthly plan

You can choose between an annual plan and a monthly plan, which costs either seven or eight euros a month in the browser. In the app, the monthly subscription is more expensive because there are additional fees for in-app purchases. As reported by the mirrorthe monthly subscription on an Android device costs eleven euros, for example.

Once you’ve decided on an option, all you have to do is verify your phone number – if it’s not already linked to your Twitter account. After confirming the payment, the subscription is active.

What are the benefits of subscribing to Twitter Blue?

But Twitter Blue subscribers don’t just get access to the blue verification tick. For example, they can also edit their tweets up to five times in 30 minutes. Undoing tweets is also enabled by default for users with a Twitter Blue subscription.

They also have the option to set NFT profile pictures, personalize their navigation menu or post videos in Full HD. The app icon on the smartphone can also be customized, according to Twitter “there are several colorful options to choose from”.

Subscribe to Twitter Blue: These features are still to come

With Twitter Blue Labs, users will also receive early access to selected new functions in the future. However, not all premium functions will be available to subscribers when Twitter Blue is launched. For example, users should only see half as much advertising in the start page timeline “soon”.

In addition, Twitter wants to give verified users “soon” preferential treatment. Because their tweets “get priority” and appear at the top of replies, mentions, and searches. This should help “in the fight against fraud and spam”.
