The Twitter Spaces feature was just available to select users after announcing a revamp in August. The social platform has now opened the feature to Twitter Blue subscribers with an iOS device. It enables users to experience audio stations, podcasts, and Spaces audio after examining the feature from Twitter Blue Labs.
However, it was just an audio platform when Twitter Spaces initially launched and offered live audio conversations to users. Users always found a host as well as co-hosts with an unlimited number of people occupying the space. The social platform decided in August to redesign the space to support its podcast enterprises.
Twitter’s Spaces Tab & Personalized Hubs
Twitter reconstructed the Spaces tab and introduced personalized hubs. These hubs contain different content themes such as news, sports, music, and other features. The company also presented live and recorded content and constantly managed to add the original Spaces audio platform. Twitter efficiently utilizes user data to present podcast suggestions.
Moreover, it would enable listeners to decide on like and dislike content to enhance their listening capability. The social platform’s research showed in August that around 45% of Twitter users listened to podcasts. It would enable its new project to host podcasts massively productive after appropriately bolstering the platform.
Meanwhile, Twitter Blue subscribers on iOS can now enjoy the new Spaces. They can also listen to managed audio and podcasts after linking the experimental feature in Twitter Blue Labs. Labs currently offer users the capability to upload larger and higher-resolution videos. It would enable them to set up an NFT profile picture.
Twitter Blue is Available in Select Countries
It is important that users signed up for Twitter Blue will also obtain access to various components. These include ad-free articles, custom app icons; undo tweet feature, a bookmarks folder, themes, and others. However, Twitter Blue is now available in the United States, New Zealand, and Australia.
The suggested price was $3.99/ month, while the platform recently increased it to $4.99/ month. Spaces offer an efficient mechanism to bring live audio conversations on Twitter. The company is examining and building this in the open with @TwitterSpaces.
