X, formerly Twitter, unveils blue tick privacy for paid users

Elon Musk, who owns X (formerly known as Twitter), is introducing a lot of new features and making changes to the popular platform every day.

Recently, Musk launched a feature that lets paid Blue members hide their verified checkmarks from their X profiles.

According to TechCrunch's report, X also updated its ‘About X Blue’ support page for members.

With the ‘hide your checkmark’ option, subscribers can choose to hide their checkmarks on their profiles and posts.

However, the checkmark may still appear in some places, and some features might reveal that they have a subscription.

While the checkmark is hidden, certain features may not be available, but the company is working on improving this, as per the report.

To use this feature, users need to go to their profile settings and select the option to hide the blue checkmarks.

X (previously Twitter) also allows users to hide their subscriptions.

The subscription prices for X Blue are the same, costing Rs 900 per month for phone users and Rs 650 for web users in India.

X Blue subscribers enjoy various benefits, such as photo editing, fewer ads, longer posts, text formatting, and more.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk is actively promoting the X brand. However, the company had to remove the giant X logo from its HQ due to safety concerns raised by authorities.
