Twitter already offers a blue tick to verified accounts as a way of differentiation and might now be planning to add another label, which will indicate that a phone number associated with an account is verified too. Have a look at the details.
As suggested by reverse engineer Jane Manchun Wong, Twitter will add a “verified phone number” label to accounts, if those account owners have verified their numbers. This will be a small grey-hued label placed above the “Followers” and “Following” options.

For those who don’t know, Twitter recently admitted that around 5.4 million accounts’ names, phone numbers, and even email addresses were leaked and accessed by a hacker. Back in 2020, lots of celebrity accounts, including that of former US President Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Elon Musk, and more, were hacked for bitcoin scams. And there are many more!
