Meta, the parent company that owns Instagram and Facebook, has also announced a fee for verified accounts.
Meta has also adopted a Twitter-like initiative for users of these two platforms, now users will be able to get a verified account for around $12.
Meta announced on its website that paying subscription users will get a blue badge, increased visibility of their posts (more users will see them), protection from impersonators and easier access to customer service. Will do.
The company says the change will not affect pre-verified accounts, but will increase visibility for some smaller users who will become verified thanks to the payment feature.
Do you know how to get blue ticks on Instagram?
Meta said Instagram and Facebook usernames must match a government-issued ID for verification, and users must have a profile picture that shows their face.
Meta has not yet specified when the feature will be rolled out to other countries, but Mark Zuckerberg has said it will be ‘soon’.
