Twitter introduced ANOTHER tick, but now the new feature is gone?

If you saw a new feature on twitter, you weren’t imagining things, but don’t go searching – because now it’s gone

Twitter made changes to the blue tick verification system for the third time since Elon Musk took over as CEO two weeks ago.

It introduced a second, bigger tick.

Meet the ‘official label’

The label was designed to show the difference between Twitter Blue subscribers who gained their tick with their subscription, and “accounts that are verified as official”

Early stage products executive of the company, Esther Crawford, announced the move on twitter, saying “Accounts that will receive it include government accounts, commercial companies, major media outlets, publishers and some public figures”

A lot of folks have asked about how you'll be able to distinguish between @TwitterBlue subscribers with blue checkmarks and accounts that are verified as official, which is why we’re introducing the “Official" label to select accounts when we launch. pic.twitter.com/0p2Ae5nWpO

The new Twitter Blue does not include ID verification – it’s an opt-in, paid subscription that offers a blue checkmark and access to select features. We’ll continue to experiment with ways to differentiate between account types.

It never was for sale, but now it’s gone – with the whole idea now trashed as Elon Musk continues to make changes to the platform.

Crawford retweeted Musk’s tweet that ‘Twitter will do lots of dumb things in coming months’ following the failed official tick.

“The goal is to find the right mix” she told her 35.7K followers.

There are no sacred cows in product at Twitter anymore. Elon is willing to try lots of things — many will fail, some will succeed. The goal is to find the right mix of successful changes to ensure the long-term health and growth of the business. https://t.co/cMf27EmmpJ
