Twitter users should expect big changes to the site as Elon Musk attempts to boost revenue.
Twitter just finished its first full week with new owner Elon Musk at the helm.
As Musk laid off an estimated half of Twitter's staff, he also acknowledged that advertisers are fleeing the platform.
And the first signs arrived that the social media site's iconic verification system is set to turn into a subscription service: an update to Twitter's iOS app mentions a Twitter Blue $7.99 offering that includes the blue checkmark and will soon have "half the ads & much better ones," as well as the ability to post longer videos.
An Android update is in the works, Musk said Saturday, replying to users on Twitter. He also said it would be a "couple months" until current verified users with blue checkmarks lost their verification status.
