Earlier the blue tick on Twitter is a verification badge that appears next to the name of an account. It indicates that Twitter has confirmed the authenticity of the account and that it belongs to a person or organization of public interest, such as celebrities, public figures, government officials, or brands.
The blue tick helps users to easily identify authentic accounts from fake ones, especially for high-profile accounts that are often impersonated or hacked. It also gives a level of credibility to the account and can increase the trust of followers and potential followers.
To get a blue tick on Twitter, you need to apply for verification through Twitter’s verification request form. Twitter reviews the request and decides whether to grant verification based on their criteria. Meeting the criteria does not guarantee verification, as Twitter ultimately has the final say in who receives the blue tick.
