Twitter to end ‘legacy’ blue checkmarks in April: What it means for users

Twitter has announced that it’ll start “winding down” its legacy verified program. The Elon Musk-owned micro-blogging site has shared a tweet to announce that it will remove all “legacy verified checkmarks” starting April 1. This new timeline to end legacy checkmarks arrives as Twitter says it has now rolled out Twitter Blue subscriptions globally. However, several promised features are still missing from the subscription service.

What it means for users

In the tweet, the social media platform has also asked its users to pay for Twitter Blue subscriptions if they want to keep their blue checkmark. The company has also mentioned that companies will also need to pay for their blue ticks and they can sign up for the ‘Verified Organizations’ program.
