The premium features are—Bookmark Folders, Custom App Icons, and Custom Navigation.
It also contains Reader, Themes, Top Articles, and an “Undo Tweet” feature.
You can only access these features if you are one of those users who subscribed to Twitter Blue.
After Elon Musk’s takeover, he is determined to increase the price of the subscription and take it to $8 USD per month.
Additionally, he’s planning to add new features such as replies/mentions/search priority, a blue checkmark, a secondary tag, and so on.
I will update this article when these plans are implemented.
