TWITTER has added a new label so you can spot bots amid the blue tick controversy.

Ever since Elon Musk took over Twitter the blue tick has been available to people who are willing to pay but this has left users confused over which accounts are real.

The new automated bot label seems to appear next to accounts that Twitter deems fake.

If you click on the user profile, the label also highlights which username is running the account.

The label simply states “Automated by” and features a robot emoji and the username behind the account.

The label was apparently available shortly before Musk took over Twitter as CEO.
