Last year, the social network X, owned by Elon Musk, was launched. a feature for paid users to hide their checkmarks from others. Now, the company is sending notifications to users saying that the feature will be gone soon.
Like many decisions made by X, there is no set timeline for when the hide checkmark feature will disappear.
Last week, the company removed the section that describes how to hide the checkmark feature from the X Premium support page before sending notifications to users. The feature was not available for the basic level of subscribers.
“As a Premium or Premium+ subscriber, you can choose to hide the check mark on your account. The check mark will be hidden on your profile and posts. “The check mark may still appear in some places and some features may still reveal that you have an active subscription,” the description read.
Earlier this month, the social network started handing out blue checkmarks to influential users with more than 2,500 “verified” followers. The company also began offering its Premium subscription to these users and its Premium+ subscription to users with more than 5,000 verified followers.
Last year, Musk removed the legacy checkmark after introducing a subscription program for it. However, the company soon reset the blue check mark for main accounts. Basically, the verification program returns to where it started: verifying notable people.
