Twitter announced, with a little fanfare, that he noted the public check request for the first time since 2017. The process to give the coveted “blue tick” in the six categories chosen was launched last week. But just a few days, Twitter stated that it was new applications for the moment because it must examine the current battery of profiles. Apparently, Twitter has received applications more than expected.
“We are driving verification requests. We must therefore have struck a break on the acceptance of accepting it for the moment while we examine those who have been submitted, “said Twitter.
The public verification process of blue tick has always been a start stop game on Twitter.

Twitter did not give a specific date or time for reopening requests. But it is just overcome that this will happen once Twitter erases the backlog of applications.
Twitter also said: “At this time, while accepting the requests is paused, the deployment of access to the application is also paused. Once the requests are open, we will resume to deploy access. the application process. “
It can be remembered that Twitter has reworked its verification process, which opens it to eligible users of six different categories that include the government; Companies / Trademarks / Organizations; Press organizations and journalists; entertainment; sports and games; and activists / organizers / other influential individuals.
Twitter caught without caprice
To qualify for the verified state of the handle, the Twitter users must have a full account including a confirmed profile, image and email name or a phone number. In addition, these Twitter accounts must be active in the last six months and “have a record for membership of the Twitter rules”.
Say Twitter reports has 199 million active users and only 360K of them currently have blue tick.
Considering these numbers, in a sense, it is also surprising that Twitter did not anticipate the number of applications and was not ready for overvoltage.
