The people who want Instagram’s coveted verified seal will be able to apply for it from Meta from now on – as long as they pay $15 per month for the benefit. The conglomerate of online platforms reported on Tuesday (20) the beginning of the tests of the new service in the country. With this, individuals will be able to easily attest that they are who they say they are.
The novelty also applies to the profile on Facebook. In practice, Mark Zuckerberg’s company is repeating a format implemented by Elon Musk’s Twitter. The company says Meta Verified will allow creators to increase their online presence and build a community “faster.”
For now, the new subscription is only valid for people and companies and brands will not be able to apply for the Meta Verified verification badge. Meta said it is working to “make it happen soon,” without specifying a date.
How to Get the Instagram Verified Badge
The person must be 18 years old and have a posting history
It is necessary to send an official document issued by the government
The price is $ 15 per month per application (who wants to have it on Face and Insta will have to shell out $ 31 monthly)
Path in the Instagram app: Settings → Account Center → find Account Settings → choose Meta Verified
The subscription can be made in the app for Android and iPhone (iOS)
Meta reported that “a waiting list will be available soon to purchase Meta Verified via the web.”
Benefits of Meta Verified
The verified seal is the most interesting feature of the new signature, since, even today, it is seen as a sign of credibility within online platforms. Twitter has subverted this logic and has been facing the consequences of the measure, such as the rejection of Twitter Blue subscriber profiles.
Meta Verified subscribers will also have differentiated technical support if they experience any security issues.
Those accounts that are currently verified against the other criteria, such as notability or credibility, will retain the verification seal, according to Meta.
