Twitter, which underwent a major change with Elon Musk, who came to power in October, welcomed us with a new surprise today. Twitter Blue, a paid subscription service that was previously only available to iOS users, has also been opened to Android users.
But Twitter has increased the price of Twitter Blue, which it will offer to Android users. The subscription fee, which has been $ 8 on Android and $ 11 on iOS, has been increased to $ 11 for Android.
So why did Twitter take such a decision?
The company did not provide a reason for the hike in Twitter Blue prices for Android users. But the predictions were to avoid the commission on Google’s Play Store, just as it was for Apple’s App Store.
In other words, Twitter makes users pay the commission it will pay to app stores. Because those who buy a Blue subscription from the desktop version of Twitter still face a $ 8 fee.
In which countries is Twitter Blue available?
Twitter Blue, which offers users benefits such as a blue tick badge and uploading long videos, is currently only available in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Japan.
