Users will be able to use Meta Verified for €9.99 per month.
Meta is getting ready to introduce Meta Verified, a premium verification product, in the United Kingdom. Users of Instagram and Facebook will be able to use the program for €9.99 per month. The membership will be tailored to content creators and will include valuable extras such as proactive identity protection, customer assistance, and a blue badge for verification.
Meta originally introduced this subscription option in February for users in Australia and New Zealand. It was then made available to customers in the United States in March. Furthermore, with the reintroduction of Elon Musk’s Twitter’s paid verification service Twitter Blue, Meta is launching its own verification program.
The program was created in response to user feedback. However, Instagram and Facebook account verification will incur an extra charge. Subscription customers must be at least 18 years old. Meta also wants subscribers to have a name that matches the name on their official ID.
Users will also be unable to change their usernames or profile photographs, according to Meta. However, the firm claims that it is developing technologies to allow this restriction and that the problem will be rectified in the future.
