Twitter has listed a new subscription service on app stores, in an indication that the social media giant is preparing to trial the offering soon.

They wouldn’t comment directly on the listing but highlighted that it had previously announced plans to diversify its revenue resources.

Although “Twitter Blue” is now listed on app stores, it isn’t yet fully enabled for users.

According to technology blogger Jane Manchun Wong, who claims to be the first paying user of the service, it includes an “undo tweet” feature as well as a “reader mode” to make reading long threads easier. But Twitter has declined to confirm her claims.

The social media giant said that increasing “revenue durability” is the company’s to objective.

It also plans to continue developing and experimenting with other ways to diversify its revenue beyond advertising this year and further ahead
