Another news for the birds on duty! The users of twitter in Brazil began to see this Wednesday (8) information about signing up for Twitter Blue in their timeline, which means that the feature has arrived on Brazilian soil.
Before, the service was available in some countries, such as the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, but now, Brazilian accounts are able to subscribe to the paid plan for Elon Musk's social network, which makes it possible to obtain the verification seal, in addition to editing tweets and even promises to reduce the amount of adverts.

How much does Twitter Blue cost in Brazil?
So far, users have access to two types of subscription plans: annual and monthly. In the first, the subscription costs R$36.67/month, for a total of R$440. In the second, the value is R$ 42 and R$ 504 per year. Prices show similarities to what US users are charged. In the US, the cheapest subscription is US$ 8 per month, which is equivalent to R$ 41.58 at the current exchange rate.
However, whoever accesses Twitter through the application, with an iOS system or android, will pay more. Due to a commission charged by Apple and Google on purchases made using the Google Play and App Store platforms, the user finds the monthly fee for Twitter Blue at BRL 60.
About the refund, none of the subscriptions offer the option unless required by law, including subscriptions linked to Twitter accounts that have been suspended or to which the user has lost access by any other reason.
Regarding the cancellation of the subscription, the user can do it on the platform used to make the purchase. For example, if the user purchased the subscription on Twitter for iOS, it is necessary to perform the cancellation on Twitter for iOS.
What's available inside Twitter Blue?
Verification stamp! The main “benefit” that was available free of charge only to artists, public figures, large companies and government agencies, in addition to media outlets, will also be granted to Twitter Blue users.
With this feature, it is possible that the views in answers, searches and mentions, gain more prominence, that is, the posts will be one of the first to appear for other users.
“Twitter Blue subscribers with a verified mobile number will receive a blue badge upon approval,” wrote the platform on the purchase page.
An active Twitter Blue subscription also offers access to editing tweets, posting longer videos, and soon, subscribers will receive 50% fewer timeline ads.
These features are available wherever you use the Twitter account the subscription was purchased from.
Tweets of up to 4000 characters
Another announced benefit is the availability of publications of up to 4,000 characters for Twitter Blue subscribers. But the feature is only available for US users. The current limit is 280 characters. The leap from 280 to 4,000 will allow Twitter Blue subscribers more space to develop content.
