Twitter TWTR, -1.37% said that it has created an application process for users seeking to become verified on the platform. Their tweets will also need to be set as visible by the public, not private.
Twitter is making it easier for people to receive verified accounts with the creation of an online application process.
The list forms the a new process for those seeking verified accounts – which are marked with a blue tick on the site. For years, the feature has been an exclusive one, but no more. As a refresher, being verified gives users a blue check mark on their profile to “let people know that an account of public interest is authentic”. For those of you that don’t use Twitter, Twitter verifies important people, such as journalists, sports stars, actors, and so on to make sure that some random person pretending to be them can not just say whatever they want.
“If you’ve submitted a request and have not yet received an email from us, we may be having trouble delivering it. We hope opening up this application process results in more people finding great, high-quality accounts to follow, and for these creators and influencers to connect with a broader audience”. “Accounts that don’t have the badge next to their name but that display it somewhere else, for example in the profile photo, header photo, or bio, are not verified accounts” and may be suspended. But anyone who gets declined can try again 30 days after they get their rejection email.
