Twitter now has multiple badges that differentiate profiles. We have the traditional blue badge that comes bundled with Twitter Blue verification; then there’s an “official” label, also known as the grey badge, and there’s the recently introduced golden badge. In this article, we will explain the meaning of each badge and how you can get them.
Twitter Blue badge: The Twitter Blue badge is now a part of the Twitter Blue subscription. It means that users can get the blue tick on their profile after paying a monthly fee of $8 on the web and $11 on iPhones. It is unclear if this is available in India, although its App Store listing highlights a price of Rs 999 per month. More details from Twitter are expected soon.
Twitter official and yellow badges: Last month, many Twitter profiles received an official label that some referred to as a grey badge. It was automatically added to select profiles belonging to politicians, influencers, and news outlets. It means that users could not apply for the label, but Twitter was auto-recognizing profiles with a high number of followers.
Twitter automated labels: Additionally, Twitter is also planning to relaunch “automated labels” to provide transparency about bot profiles. When an account displays the “automated” label, users will know that the account is generating automated content not produced by a human.
