Twitter users in India suffered outage on Sunday, as the social media app went blank on Sunday. Downdetector reported 2,838 outages on Sunday around 7 pm. Users complained that their timeline didn’t refresh while many accounts were showed as non-existent.

This outage took place a day before the relaunch of Twitter Blue on December 12. The revamped service will allow subscribers to edit tweets, upload 1080p videos and get a blue tick after their verification.

The company on Saturday also informed its subscription service Twitter Blue will relaunched at a higher price for Apple users. The relaunched service will cost $8 a month for web users and $11 a month for iPhone users.

In a series of tweets, the social media company wrote, “we’re relaunching Twitter Blue on Monday – subscribe on web for $8/month or on iOS for $11/month to get access to subscriber-only features, including the blue checkmark”

“When you subscribe you’ll get Edit Tweet, 1080p video uploads, reader mode, and a blue checkmark (after your account has been reviewed),” it added.

It further informed that they will begin replacing that ‘official’ label with a gold checkmark for businesses, and later in the week a grey checkmark for government and multilateral accounts.

Elon Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion in October.
