It seems like Twitter has accidentally revealed its plan to launch its new subscription tier ‘Twitter Blue’. The new purchase option can be seen in the iOS App Store under ‘in-app purchases’, alongside its price, which is $2.99. However, the feature can not be seen anywhere in Twitter’s iOS app.

 

App researcher Jane Manchun Wong noticed the new in-app purchase option in App Store. She had previously discovered the option in Twitter’s iOS code and shared details about it, including an Undo Tweet option and a Reader Mode.
