CEO of Twitter, Elon Musk announced that Twitter Blue has relaunched months after halting subscription services due to fatal impersonation issue.
In the new update, Twitter Blue membership subscription will cost $8 per month on the web and $11 per month on the iOS App Store due to Apple’s 30 percent commission on in-app purchases.
