Various rumors and speculations believed that Twitter is working on a subscription service since last summer. And now, one of the most popular app feature leakers, Jane Manchun Wong, released some screenshots together with some explanations about the possible paid features it could offer.

With around 328 million users worldwide, Twitter has gone from a small start-up in for the public 2006 to a broadcast tool of politicians and corporations in 2017.
"Twitter is calling their upcoming Subscription Service 'Twitter Blue,' priced at $2.99/month for now," said Wong.
"Twitter is also working on a tiered subscription pricing model, with one tier having more paid features than the other," she added.
Her latest tweet was able to generate more than 400 comments, 8,800 retweets, and 2,100 likes. Wong's post excited some users and made some Twitter fans worried.
One of the commentators curiously asked if the paid accounts will get preferential treatment by the algorithm. She added that if this will happen, the social media platform will get a bit messy.
To give you more idea about the Twitter Blue subscription service, here are other details you need to know.
Twitter Blue Subscription's Possible Features
According to MacRumors' latest report, the upcoming $2.99 Twitter Blue monthly subscription will offer the most-awaited Undo Retweet option. Based on its name, this feature will allow you to edit your tweets if there are some typographical errors.

The alleged Undo Retweet option will offer editing features for replies, tweetstorms, quote tweets, and original tweets.
Aside from this, it is also expected to release a new feature called Tweet Collections, which is a section that allows the users to save and organize their favorite tweets.
This new Twitter section could also make it easier for users to find their favorite tweets at a later date.

On the other hand, Wong also claimed that the new Twitter Blue subscription will have various tiers. This means that there will be more than one type of subscription service. However, the social media giant hasn't released any confirmation regarding the other monthly prices.
As of the moment, the best thing you can do is wait for Twitter's official announcements before making any conclusion.
Other Plans of Twitter
Aside from the Blue subscription service, The Verge also reported that the giant social media platform could soon temporarily censor tweets of its users.
The issue was first spotted in a Palestinian-American journalist's account after it was banned. Twitter claimed that the account was temporarily banned because it violates the Twitter Media Policy.
