Get Meta Verified: A New Subscription Service for Authenticity and Security on Instagram and Facebook

Meta's announcement of a new subscription service "Meta Verified" has created a buzz among Instagram and Facebook users worldwide. This service will allow users to pay a monthly fee of $11.99 on the web or $14.99 on iOS to get verified, gain access to extra protection from impersonation accounts, and customer support. The verification process requires users to provide a government-issued ID that matches their profile name and picture. The blue badge that users receive will be an indication of their authenticity, and the service aims to promote security across its platforms. The subscription-based service will be released in Australia and New Zealand this week, and more countries will be added soon.

The move by Meta comes as other social media platforms like Discord, Reddit, and YouTube have introduced their own subscription-based models. Twitter has also launched a verification subscription service, Twitter Blue, which offers additional perks for a monthly fee of $11. Twitter Blue distinguishes between accounts with different-colored checkmarks, making it easier to differentiate between individuals, companies, government entities, and other organizations.

Meta's decision to expand verification access to more users and increase the focus on authenticity will be a game-changer for individuals and businesses looking to build their online reputation. The extra protection from impersonation accounts will also provide peace of mind for users. The subscription-based model is a smart business move, as it allows Meta to generate revenue while improving its users' experiences. We can't wait to see how this service will be received globally and how it will transform the social media landscape.
