Sign Up For Twitter Blue and Get Blue Tick On the Web
Twitter Blue is available for sign-up on the Web. Earlier it was only available for iOS users but after the issues with App Store’s crazy high 30% revenue cut, the company also made it available on the Web. Also, signing up for Twitter Blue on the Web is $3 cheaper than on iOS. Here is a step-by-step process that you can follow.
1. Connect your Windows PC, Mac, Android, or iOS smartphone to a server located within the USA, U.K, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand using a VPN.
