Meet "Twitter Blue" – and the long-awaited "Undo Tweet" feature
An Undo feature is finally coming to Twitter—you will just need to pay for it.
Meet Twitter Blue, Twitter’s first premium subscription offering. The feature is currently rolling out in Canada and Australia, but promises to roll out to more countries soon.
Twitter also emphasized that the free version is NOT going away, “and never will.”
For about $3 a month (currently it costs $3.49 per month in Canada and $4.49 in Australia, or $2.88 and $3.44 in U.S. dollars, according to Fortune), Twitter Blue users will have access to premium features and perks, including:
Undo Tweet – A feature that gives you a short window (up to 60 seconds” during which you’ll be able to cancel sending a Tweet
Bookmark folders – An organizational feature for saved content
Reader Mode – Easily turn Twitter threads into longform text.
Customizable app icons and themes
Dedicated subscription customer support
Welcome to Twitter Blue -- a new subscription service designed to give you more customization over your Twitter experience and access to premium features, including:

Why it matters
This new offering could be a game changer for power users on Twitter. The “undo” button is famously Twitter’s most-requested feature, so that alone could be enough for some to make the jump to a paid subscription.
It’s also going to be an interesting test for social media channels at large to see whether or not a premium experience is something many users will be willing to pay for.
