Unlike Twitter, Koo will offer a free, lifetime verification badge, called Yellow Tick, to differentiate real accounts.
OR Koo has announced that it will offer a free verification badge to all prominent Twitter personalities. The idea is to welcome those who will lose the “original” blue seal of the Twitter on April 1 and gain recognition for achievements or professional status.

In Koo’s case, people will get the famous yellow check, the purpose of which is to differentiate real accounts, protect reputation and prevent identity theft. The verification is for life, free and the eligible account is released, the company revealed this Friday (31).

The Yellow Bird social network will allow people to migrate all of their tweets and follower lists. This is a solution to avoid having to start all over again.
“We are a merit-based platform and pride ourselves on a transparent methodology that recognizes and celebrates eminence without a price tag. The Koo Eminence Tick is a token of prestige that cannot be purchased and we are committed to safeguarding this digital right to all those who have distinct personalities,” explains Koo co-founder Mayank Bidawatka.
Verification is for user safety
Bidawatka says the decision to provide free verification for prominent personalities is a way to recognize them and protect their accounts from impersonators who might try to impersonate them. The badge will only be awarded to those who meet the criteria, so there is no point in presenting a badge purchased from Twitter Blue.
Koo has amassed over 60 million downloads and is present in over 100 countries. The service is free and should remain so, according to the creators, especially in terms of basic features.
After a boom late last year, Koo has gone through a period of declining commitments. The social network has mobilized to present new features to attract users, such as adding ChatGPT to create posts with the help of artificial intelligence.
The service supports posts in 20 languages, space for posts longer than 500 characters, post scheduling, a monetization tool for creators, and a customer loyalty program. Those who use the service on a daily basis can accumulate coins to be exchanged for discount coupons and gifts.
How to request verification on Koo?
Those interested in applying for the verification mark must create an account on Koo and follow the steps described therein. For those who have multiple profiles, a tip is to send an email with basic data and proof of eminence.verification@kooapp.com.
