All Twitter Blue subscribers can now hide their blue checkmark on Twitter/X.
Blue checkmarks used to be a way to verify celebrities, journalists, influencers, and other high-profile individuals and organizations on Twitter. Once Elon Musk took over, the social media platform removed all legacy verified checkmarks and then created Twitter Blue. For $8 a month, anyone could get a blue checkmark.
As the months went on, Musk introduced actual benefits to joining Twitter Blue besides the checkmark. Subscribers can edit tweets, post long-form videos, and post longer tweets. Despite the perks, some still might not want to broadcast that they paid for their blue checkmark. Luckily, there is now a way to hide the blue checkmark from your X profile.
