Twitter users who want to enjoy additional features and verification will have to pay a monthly subscription fee of Sh972 ($8) to acquire Twitter Blue.
One can get Twitter Blue by navigating to the Profile menu on Twitter Application.
Select the subscribe button and you will be prompted to verify your phone number.
You will be given purchase instructions and be required to confirm subscription payment on the web.
You will get a blue tick once your request is approved.
Users who have subscribed to Twitter Blue will get prioritised rankings in conversations and search.
They will also see approximately twice as many Tweets between advertisements in their following timelines.
The users will be able to add bold and italic texts o their Tweets and post longer videos of up to 1080p video uploads.
An active Twitter Blue subscription adds a blue checkmark to your account.
This is even as Twitter removed users' blue verification badge after they failed to pay a monthly subscription fee of Sh972 ($8) for Twitter Blue.
The move saw some politicians, celebrities, media companies and journalists lose their badges.
This follows the platform's announcement last year, that users will now pay a monthly fee under Twitter Blue to have the badge (blue checkmark).
Originally, a verified Twitter account meant the owner of the account would send information to the public.
For public figures, their tweets in many instances have been a source of news for many media outlets.
