Twitter stops accepting verification requests after rolling out public verification program

Twitter has halted its verification program weeks after rolling out the verification application to users. Interestingly, Twitter had brought back the verification program after five long years. It had rolled out the new verification application to users last week. But seems like Twitter is overburdened with the requests and will only resume when it is able to clear its backlog. The Verification Request feature was not even rolled out to all the users. Twitter had said that it will gradually roll out the application form.

Twitter on Friday announced that it would not take any more requests. "We're rolling in verification requests. So we gotta hit pause on accepting any more for now while we review the ones that have been submitted.We'll reopen requests soon! (We pinky swear)." Looks like users will have to wait a little longer to get the coveted blue tick beside their name on their profile on the micro-blogging messaging app as Twitter has not revealed when the process would reopen.
