After more than a month of threatening a new <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Twitter<\/a> Blue subscription, Elon Musk pulled it off. You\u2019ll be able to get that <strong>treasured blue tick<\/strong> that confirms you are who you say you are. Also, we get that <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/twitter-heads-into-deep-water\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">long-awaited character extension<\/a> to 4,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Musk told us it was coming. After so many fake and spam accounts being removed and real businesses <strong>fighting for verification<\/strong>, you can now get a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/twitter-false-information-covid\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Twitter Blue tick<\/a>. A gold badge will signify companies, while a grey one is reserved for political or government entities. All you need to do to join the party is to pay for that coveted subscription.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s a slight catch, though. If you verify your <strong>identity for your account<\/strong>, you\u2019ll have to keep your account name, profile icon, and banner the same. Should you change any of these, you\u2019ll have to verify your account again. I guess it stops someone from <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/new-twitter-alternative-post-news\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hacking your account<\/a> and then claiming to still be you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"und\" dir=\"ltr\">? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/gtxzJYOAdV\">pic.twitter.com\/gtxzJYOAdV<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Twitter Blue (@TwitterBlue) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TwitterBlue\/status\/1559261186557763584?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 15, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another more useful update with <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/elon-musk-strikes-back-at-apple-empire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Twitter Blue<\/a> is that you can <strong>post up to 4,000 characters<\/strong>. It\u2019s a massive step up from 280, which shows that the platform doesn\u2019t care about you keeping your posts short anymore.
