Getting To Know Meta Verified, Paid Verification Lencana For Facebook And Instagram Users

YOGYAKARTA Chairman and CEO of Meta Platform Inc., Marck Zuckerberg announced a new subscription service for Facebook and Instagram called Meta Verified. With the launch of this service, users who want to get a blue tick on both social media platforms are required to pay subscription fees per month.

"Good morning! New product announcement: this week we started rolling out Meta Verified - a subscription service that lets you verify your account with a government ID, getting a blue badge," Mark said on his broadcast channel on Instagram, Sunday, February 19.

Meta Verified is a blue tick service or paid verification badge for Facebook and Instagram users.

This new service is Mark Zuckerberg's attempt to monetize two social media platforms that address Meta Platform Inc. In detail, this service is similar to Twitter Blue, which was launched earlier by Twitter boss Elon Musk.

Facebook and Instagram users who have received verification badges cannot change the profile, username, date of birth, or photo without going through the verification process again. Verified accounts before this announcement for notification will remain verified.

"This new feature is about improving authenticity and security across our services," said Mark.

Blue ticks have long been one of the most desired features of account owners on social media platforms. Blue spots were previously reserved for well-known users, such as politicians, executives, members of the press, and organizations to sign their legitimacy.

Meta Verified Fee of Subscription

Mark Zuckerberg explained that Facebook and Instagram users who want to use the Meta Verified service are required to start at 11.99 US dollars (187 thousand) per month on the Web and 14.99 US dollars (Rp233,000) per month on iOS.

Subscription prices will include Instagram and Facebook. Unfortunately, this new subscription feature just rolled out in Australia and New Zealand this week. However, Mark said it would reach more countries in the future.
