It seems Twitter accounts that once had the Blue Tick (received through the old painful verification process) can be re-verified without a Twitter Blue subscription..

Before we go on with the process -- a little background..

Late last month, Twitter started removing legacy Blue Ticks from profiles without a Twitter Blue subscription..

While some users, including actor Amitabh Bachchan, bought the Rs 900-worth subscription to retain the verified status, others with over a million followers got the Blue Tick for free..

If you're missing your old Blue Tick on the profile, the only way to get it back is by getting the monthly Twitter Blue subscription..
