X Blue checkmarks

Verified checkmarks commonly known as Blue Checkmarks in X can be used to confirm the authenticity of an X account. These checkmarks are awarded once certain conditions are met. These conditions include a complete profile setup, a confirmed phone number, your account should be at least 30 days old and you have to be an X premium user. Verification Checkmarks can also be given to you by X if a profile was created by a major brand. At a certain point last year, Musk gave users these blue checkmarks if he deemed your account trust worthy but it was later removed.


Blue Checkmark update


X users could hide their verified checkmark. Meaning if users could decide to make their verified checkmarks visible or not but this is no longer the case. X, formally known as Twitter has removed the ability to hide verified checkmarks on the platform.


X Blue checkmarks gone

Users could hide their verified checkmark by clicking the box next to “hide your blue checkmark setting”, found in the user profile customization(X account->setting and privacy->profile customizations). With this brand new update, the feature meant for hiding verified checkmarks is nowhere to be found. This means if you follow the exact same process in hiding your blue checkmark before, you will no longer see the option “hide your blue checkmark” which was the third option in customizations


Closure


With regards to this update, some X users think this update is good meanwhile others think it’s bad. X users who have never paid for a Verified checkmark don’t have a problem with this new update. They wouldn’t care as long as they don’t have access to the verified checkmark yet. Others who already possessed the Verified checkmark might see this as problematic because some hide their checkmarks for reasons unknown. It just depends on the individual involved. Overall, this news isn’t something.
