I created this video to walk you through how to get the Twitter (X) Blue checkmark, now known as part of the premium Blue subscription. Here’s the quick tutorial:

Gone are the days when Twitter’s verification badge was only for celebrities and journalists. Now, anyone can get the blue tick by subscribing to Twitter Blue, and in this video, I show you exactly how to do that.

Here’s the step-by-step:

  1. Open the Twitter app or go to twitter.com
  2. Navigate to your profile settings
  3. Tap on Twitter Blue
  4. Select your plan (monthly or annual)
  5. Verify your phone number and submit payment

Once that’s done, your account will undergo a quick review. If everything checks out, your blue tick usually appears within hours — sometimes a few days.

I also cover what the subscription includes beyond the checkmark, like longer tweets, edit button, priority ranking, and custom app icons.

Whether you’re doing this for branding, visibility, or just curiosity, it’s a pretty straightforward process now.

Are you planning to subscribe to Twitter Blue, or are you skipping the badge altogether?
