How to Sign up for Twitter Blue

There are a plethora of social media platforms available at our fingertips, but without a doubt, Twitter, Facebook, and TikTok are three of the largest. Over the past year or so, Twitter has been working on improving the overall user experience as we’ve seen the company testing the ability to edit Tweets, along with other features. But more recently, Twitter Blue was introduced, giving Twitter users a way to gain access to features that you won’t find if you are just using the “normal” and free version of the service.

In a world where app subscriptions never stop cropping up, Twitter is throwing its name in the ring with Twitter Blue. Originally, this was available for $2.99 per month, before the price was increased to $4.99. With the latest batch of updates to Twitter Blue, following its acquisition by Elon Musk, the price has been raised all the way up to $8.99 per month.

Understandably so, you might be wondering what Twitter Blue is and how to sign up for Twitter Blue. Currently, the only way to sign up for the most recent version of Twitter Blue is limited to iPhone owners, as Android users and those who want to sign up via the web will not be able to. This comes as a bit of a surprise given that Apple takes 30% of any in-app purchases, so we expect this to change over the coming months.

As for what Twitter Blue includes, here’s the list of the different features and options that you will find if you decide to sign up for Twitter Blue:

Presumably, with Twitter Blue Labs, subscribers will also gain access to features that the social media giant is testing out before it becomes available to all users. You can think of Labs as testing grounds of sorts, meaning that some features might be outright removed, but the company will want to gather feedback before making any final decisions on new features and options.

How to Sign up for Twitter Blue

As we pointed out previously, if you want to sign up for Twitter Blue, the only way you can do so is from your iPhone or iPad. Even if you have the official Twitter app installed on your Mac, you are currently unable to sign up for Twitter Blue. That being said, if you’re interested in seeing whether Twitter Blue will improve your experience, here’s how you can sign up:

As a note, if you sign up for Twitter Blue on your iPhone, the features included with this subscription will also be available on your other devices, if possible. For example, you might not be able to take advantage of uploading videos that are 10 minutes long from your computer or Android phone, but you are able to do so from your iPhone.

How To Cancel Twitter Blue

If you tried out Twitter Blue and came to the conclusion that it’s just not worth it, then you can always go back and unsubscribe. Currently, there’s no way for you to unsubscribe from the Twitter web client on your computer, as you’ll need to unsubscribe and cancel Twitter Blue using the same steps that you would take to cancel any subscriptions on iOS.

Because Twitter Blue is a monthly subscription, you will continue to have access to the various features made available until the end of the billing cycle. From there, you will lose access to any of those features once you have cancelled Twitter Blue and the billing cycle has come to a close.
