USA: Twitter CEO Elon Musk claimed in a series of tweets that Twitter Blue customers will see fewer ads in the coming weeks.

Musk also mentioned that there would be a tier that would have no ads. However, the cost would be higher than the current plans. It should be noted that Twitter has so far relied on targeted ads for revenue generation.

Ever since Musk bought Twitter, the company's profits have been falling rapidly. The platform is losing advertisers left and right, forcing the company to rely on its user base for revenue generation.

To achieve this, Twitter Blue, a paid subscription service that verifies users, was introduced. Ad-free access now will almost certainly encourage more users to register.

There are currently six nations where users can access Twitter, including Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, the UK and the US. The monthly fee is $11 (roughly Rs. 891) for Android and iOS users in the US. For $8 (roughly Rs. 648) per month or $84 (roughly Rs. 6,800) per year, web users can access the service.

In the coming months, Twitter will translate and suggest "wonderful" tweets from users "belonging to other cultures" and living in other countries, according to Musk.

This is likely to be what people will choose. In addition, whether the user has set For You (recommended) or the following settings will be remembered in subsequent Twitter updates. Tweets suggested to them will not be returned.

The process of bookmarking tweets has become easier for iOS users. To take the necessary action, all they need to do is click on the bookmark button at the bottom of the detailed tweet description.

The privacy of bookmarks is noteworthy. No need to tap to share and save anymore. Since bookmarking was time consuming, many users used the "Like" button instead.

To enhance the user experience, Twitter has also added pinned lists. Go to your profile page and tap on the list icon to start the list. At this point make a list of accounts you want to follow.
