[Guide] How to hide the X Blue checkmark on your Twitter profile

Those who signed up to Twitter Blue or X Blue as it’s now known as will be aware of a certain backlash on the social media network towards them and the blue checkmark that comes as part of the subscription. As some users flee to other apps such as Threads and Mastodon, others have taken pot shots at those with the blue checkmark. So much so that X has taken notice and added an option for X Blue subscribers to hide the blue checkmark from their profile. If you are subscribed to X Blue and would like to hide the blue checkmark on your account, join us after the break for the steps on how to do so on the app and on a browser.
