According to the Help page of the micro-blogging site, one
of the features reads, “Hide your checkmark: As a subscriber, you can choose to
hide your checkmark on your account. The check mark will be hidden on your
profile and posts.
The checkmark may still appear in some places and some
features could still reveal you have an active subscription. Some features may
not be available while your checkmark is hidden. We will continue to evolve
this feature to make it better for you.”
As per a Mashable report, for subscribers to Twitter Blue,
the "Hide your blue checkmark" option is visible in the "Profile
customisation" page in your Account Settings.
Twitter first introduced the blue check mark system in 2009
to help users identify celebrities, politicians, companies, brands, news
organizations, and other accounts "of public interest" as genuine and
not impostors or parody accounts. The company didn't previously charge for
verification.
Musk launched Twitter Blue with the check-mark badge as one
of the premium perks within two weeks of the company's takeover last year.
On April 1, Twitter removed blue ticks from verified
accounts, following the implementation of paid subscription service which
charges USD 8 for a blue verification badge on the microblogging site.
B-town celebrities including Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh
Khan, and Alia Bhatt, politicians CM Yogi Adityanath, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka
Gandhi, and cricketers Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are among those who lost
their verified blue ticks from their Twitter accounts. But, others got the
badge back after a few days.
Notably, on July 24, Twitter replaced its recognisable bird
logo with the letter "X" as its new official mark.
Earlier, Musk, also the CEO of Tesla, said after certain
organisational changes, the number of monthly users of social media site X,
formerly known as Twitter, had hit a "new high."
He posted a graph of user statistics that indicated the most
recent count to be above 540 million.
In the post, Musk also referred to this design as an
"interim" one, suggesting that there may be other logo changes in the
future.
According to a report by US-based tech portal TechCrunch,
it's possible that the social network won't stop changing the logo. According
to Musk, the business would eventually "bid adieu to the Twitter brand
and, gradually, all the birds."
