For now, the in-app purchase for Twitter Blue is just available in the US, New Zealand, Canada, and Australia on Android, web and iOS.
Twitter Blue costs $2.99 per month (approx Rs 200) in the US and NZ$4.49 in New Zealand.
As for features, iOS and desktop users who have subscribed to Twitter Blue will get “a fast-loading, ad-free reading experience” when they visit a news site available in the US including The Washington Post, L.A. Times, USA TODAY, The Atlantic, Reuters, The Daily Beast, Rolling Stone, BuzzFeed, Insider and The Hollywood Reporter. Subscribers will also be able to see “the most-shared articles in their network over the last 24 hours”.

While the edit tweet option is still not a reality but the Twitter Blue subscribers will be able to preview their tweets with the new “Undo Tweets” feature. Subscribers will have up to 60 seconds to preview and make changes to Tweet before it’s public. In addition to that, a new “Reader” feature will allow subscribers to change the font size and turn long threads into an “easier-to-read” experience. They will also get early access to new features as compared to other users.
