Twitter Blue lets you undo tweets for $ 3 a month

Features that Twitterers have been asking for for years seem to be coming soon in a subscription form called Twitter Blue. A feature to edit tweets hasn’t surfaced yet, but it should be possible to undo tweets within seconds of posting.

Subscription to Twitter

Twitter may become the first social medium to offer subscriptions to its customers. It had been known for some time that the company was setting up a subscription service. That the service was coming earlier this month by Scroll CEO, Tony Hail, confirmed in a tweet. Many details remained unknown about the structure and costs of the subscription. From an unexpected angle, the necessary details about the subscription, which will be called Twitter Blue, were announced on Saturday.

Jane Manchun Wong, who regularly checks out new features in apps like Twitter and Instagram, tweeted details about the Twitter Bluesubscriptions. With the standard subscription, which will cost $ 2.99, you will get a collection feature that merges tweets under the Bookmark Collections, among other things. This makes it easier to find your favorite tweets.

The subscription also includes a undo function. Twitter wants to make it possible to not post your tweets, for example if you discover an error in the text or if you would like to post the tweet later. After sending a tweet, a timer counts down that makes it possible to undo a tweet. How long the timer lasts, according to Wong, can be adjusted in the settings of Twitter, with a free choice between 5 and 30 seconds.

Read without ads

Above functions are mainly focused on Twitter and cater to the needs of the users who spend a lot of time on Twitter. However, many users active on Twitter use it as a news aggregator – a service where they can find the latest news articles. The company also wants to respond to this with its Blue subscription. Following Haile’s tweet, it is quite possible that Twitter will integrate Scroll into its subscription. Scroll is a service that makes it possible to read articles on news websites – depending on whether they are connected – without ads.

Normally, this requires a separate subscription, but it is possible that this will be included with every Twitter Blue subscription. We are not sure yet. Inquiries from The Verge at Twitter yielded no additional information. The company indicated that it would not respond to the questions from the website. For the time being, it will continue to look at how Twitter’s subscriptions will work exactly.
