Twitter says it will take some time to improve the process before rolling it out once more
Twitter stops verification programme to improve it
Twitter re-introduced its verification programme in 2017 but then stopped it once the team became overwhelmed with the response. It then relaunched it in May of 2020, only to stop it a week later, once again citing the enormous demand of requests that the team had to handle.
Over the last few months, Twitter had begun accepting requests for verification again, albeit slowly with a staggered rollout to keep its team from getting inundated with requests. Now, it says that it has stopped the verification process again.We’ve temporarily hit pause on rolling out access to apply for Verification so we can make improvements to the application and review process.
For those who have been waiting, we know this may be disappointing. We want to get things right, and appreciate your patience.
