Twitter's Blue Checkmark System Undergoes Major Changes.
TL;DR Summary
Twitter will begin phasing out its legacy verification system from April 1 and removing legacy checkmarks, but users can keep their checkmarks by subscribing to Twitter Blue for $8 per month. However, CEO Elon Musk tweeted that any individual whose account is affiliated with a verified organization will be automatically verified. Twitter Blue's necessary qualifications include having a display name and profile photo, being active in the past 30 days, having a confirmed phone number, and having an account older than 90 days upon subscribing.
