Users will be able to edit tweets, upload 1080p videos, and receive a blue checkmark after account authentication for $8 per month via the web and $11 per month via Apple iOS, according to the firm.

Twitter did not explain why Apple users were charged more than others on the web, although media sources indicate that the business was attempting to offset App Store fees.

Twitter initially introduced Twitter Blue at the beginning of November before halting it due to the proliferation of fraudulent accounts. The rescheduled launch date of November 29 was subsequently postponed.

Elon Musk, who took Twitter private for $44 billion in November, had in a series of tweets last month outlined a number of issues with Apple, including the 30% fee the iPhone manufacturer charges for in-app purchases.
Then, he said that Apple had halted advertising on the social networking platform and was threatening to remove Twitter from its app store.

However, during a second conversation with Apple CEO Tim Cook, he stated that the confusion regarding Twitter’s removal from Apple’s app store had been cleared up.

“Thanks whistleblowers,” he tweeted on Saturday before posting a thread he called “My Twitter Files.”

Weiss stated in a post on the matter that a “senior Twitter employee” informed her, “Think of visibility filtering as a means for us to suppress what users see to varying degrees. It is a highly effective instrument.'”

The purported decision to limit @elonjet’s visibility occurs just one month after Musk made public his commitment to free expression on the site.

In a thread on the subject, Weiss said a “senior Twitter employee” had told her, “‘Think about visibility filtering as being a way for us to suppress what people see to different levels. It’s a very powerful tool.’”

The alleged move to restrict @elonjet’s visibility comes just one month after Musk publicly announced his commitment to free speech on the platform.

“My commitment to free speech extends even to not banning the account following my plane, even though that is a direct personal safety risk,” the billionaire tweeted at the time. Flight records are considered public information, as taxpayers pay for runways, towers, and air traffic controllers.

Sweeney told The Washington Post last month that Musk’s takeover had “definitely brought more interest to my account,” which he created in June 2020. In January, it was reported that Musk had offered the then-19-year-old $5,000 to delete the account, fearing its existence would lead to him getting tracked and followed by “crazy people.”

private with a soon-to-be-released new feature The chat app is developing “view once” text messages that disappear as soon as they are viewed. The new feature, discovered by the experts at WaBetaInfo, gives an additional degree of secrecy to your messages compared to the existing alternatives.

Not only will a “view once” message be automatically deleted after it has been viewed, but the recipient will also be unable to capture a screenshot or forward, copy, or save it. WhatsApp has built a dedicated send button with a lock icon next to the conversation bar to represent the new functionality in its current, unfinished version. However, its appearance may alter over the development process.

The “see once” capability for images and videos was launched by WhatsApp a year ago as a mechanism for users to communicate disposable photos or critical information, such as a password. These messages are not kept on the phone of the recipient.

Despite the increased privacy, WhatsApp advised that there are still ways to save these messages, such as taking a photo of them on a different phone. Of course, the same workarounds will apply to the new disappearing texts functionality as well.

Currently, you have two alternatives for keeping your text messages private, but both may not satisfy privacy-conscious customers. You can set your messages to disappear after 24 hours, seven days, or 90 days if you wish them to. Even if they are deleted from conversations, these messages are kept auto-saved to phones by default.

You can also go into a chat and manually erase a message you sent. However, compared to other privacy solutions, this requires users to be more proactive. It might also be perplexing if someone does not have read receipts enabled, as you may not know if they saw the message before deleting it.

According to previous update timeframes, the new ‘view once’ text messages might appear within weeks. WhatsApp’s new avatars, for example, were initially seen in late October and were officially unveiled on December 7.JAMB Result
