T2 believes this serves as an ideal opportunity to cater to Twitter\u2019s disgruntled users. Prior to April 1st (or whenever Twitter actually removes verified checks), T2 will verify its own users if they previously had Twitter verification. The company says that Twitter\u2019s legacy process required verifying people\u2019s identities, so it will continue to honor those checks on T2. These \u201cTwitter legacy\u201d T2 checkmarks will have little ruffles on them, as well.<\/p>\n

Twitter accounts may have been verified if they were a company, nonprofit, journalist, leader or executive, an individual in entertainment, an individual in sports, a content creator or some other public figure or notable individual.<\/p>\n

After Twitter removes its legacy checkmarks, T2 will switch over to a new verification flow. For now, while the app is small and in closed testing, this will involve chatting directly with a T2 representative. (A process that would make it very hard for bots to be verified!) Later on, T2 plans to scale this verification using in-app identity and selfie checks. These will be designated as \u201cT2 Authenticated\u201d profiles.<\/p>\n

Though T2 remains in closed beta testing, the company has been slowly inviting people to join from its \u201cfive-digit\u201d waitlist and has now begun to offer its community members invites they can dole out to others. The plan is to trial invites with a few more communities before a wider rollout begins.<\/p>\n
