Blue Subscription (Twitter Blue) now allows you to hide the blue badge

The Blue Subscription modality, hitherto known as Twitter Blue, already allows you to hide the blue badge that is granted with the payment of your monthly or annual fee and that indicates that the user who owns it is verified by the social network.

Until the purchase of Twitter, now X, by Elon Musk, the current owner of the social network, the blue badge was awarded based on criteria such as relevance to public debate, that is, it was worn by famous people, the media or entities to avoid counterfeit accounts.

It was in November of last year when this brand began to be part of the premium version of the platform. In this way, it was clear who had paid to have it, and, therefore, who were Twitter Blue subscribers and who were not.

The consumer products consultant Parker Ortolani has now discovered that users who have this badge can decide whether to show it or hide it from their profiles, as he has been able to verify in the Verification section and that the engineering expert announced last March reverse Alessandro Paluzzi.

Once inside this tab, included among the Blue options, X has introduced a clarification in which it is explained that it is possible to “show or hide the blue verification mark of the profile”, as it has shown with a screenshot of the Interface.

The X Help Center web page includes a section explaining that the checkmark will be hidden on both profile and posts, but that it may appear in some places and that “some features may reveal” that these users have an active subscription.

In addition, some of the features offered by Blue Subscription may no longer be available while the check mark is hidden from subscriber profiles.
