Previously, we mentioned how TweetDeck rebranded to X Pro. Now, Elon Musk has locked the dashboard app behind a paywall. That said, what should you know about the XPro?
Interestingly, if you typed “TweetDeck”, it would lead you to your Twitter (X) page. A message will pop up, saying “Blue subscribers with a verified phone number will get a blue checkmark once approved.” Considering the things Elon Musk did for the Twitter rebrand, it's pretty funny to see some semblance of the old Twitter on the X page.
In case you didn’t know, TweetDeck allows you to view multiple timelines in one interface. It also includes convenient features such as managing multiple Twitter accounts, scheduling Tweets for posting in the future, building Tweet collections, and so forth. We expect the netizens to react strongly against this. After all, it is to be expected when a previously free and useful tool like TweetDeck is exploited like this.
However, such change is expected. Last month, X’s support account announced that XPro would only be available for those who pay to be verified “in 30 days”. Based on the message by X, you will have to pay a discount price of RM369 per year. The standard XPro subscription will cost you RM35 monthly.
