Twitter Blue launches with Ad-free Articles and premium features
Twitter completes the transition of Scroll to Ad-free Articles with the launch of Twitter Blue in the US, New Zealand, Canada, and Australia.
In early October 2021, The Scroll Team emailed subscribers to notify them that Scroll would be shutting down in thirty days. The message stated that the service would become part of Twitter’s new premium subscription service, Twitter Blue.
The Scroll subscription officially ended on November 9, 2021, but was reborn with the launch of Twitter Blue in the US, New Zealand, Canada, and Australia. It was rebranded as Ad-free Articles and is now a feature of Twitter’s new premium subscription service.
Twitter Blue with Ad-free Articles is available on iOS, Android, and the web, and users can subscribe to it in their Account Settings.

When the Twitter Blue subscription is activated, subscribers will see a unique bar on tweets when links from participating publishers are shared. The bar has a light blue background and says, “Ad-free with Twitter Blue.”
