Legacy Blue tick owners on Twitter were in for a surprise on Monday when a minor edit in their bio resulted in getting their Blue badge back, albeit briefly.
A bug in Twitter resulted in legacy blue check holders briefly getting their Blue badge back after their updated their bio.
However, once they refreshed the page, the Blue tick disappeared.
It was also unclear if the followers saw the Blue badge reappearing.
Twitter still retains code that shows which users are legacy verified, as opposed to Blue verified, reports TechCrunch.
The bug was likely caused by a glitch involving internal codes.
On April 20, Chaos prevailed on Twitter when Elon Musk finally removed all legacy verified accounts with Blue check marks but allowed some celebrities to retain them.
