Meta blue badge subscription for Facebook and Instagram
Meta blue badge subscription for Facebook and Instagram. A membership tier will enable account verification with official identification, a verified blue badge for Facebook and Instagram, and “direct access to customer support,” according to Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook’s parent company Meta.
Zuckerberg writes. “This new feature is about increasing authenticity and security across our services.”
According to Apple’s 30% commission, the Meta Verified blue badge subscription plan will cost $14.99 if purchased through Facebook or Instagram’s iOS app as opposed to $11.99 if purchased online.

Meta blue badge subscription for Facebook and Instagram:
This week marks the beginning of the launch of Meta Verified for Facebook users in Australia and New Zealand. More nations will follow “soon.”
In his article announcing the program, Zuckerberg stated that it aims to boost authenticity. In contrast to Twitter’s equivalent service, Meta Verified requires users to join up with a government-issued ID for identity validation.
What about accounts that are already verified?
Elon Musk announced accounts that have already been verified won’t experience any changes. Those who are older than 18 will be able to subscribe, according to the company. But even now, some months later, nothing has changed. Only roughly 290,000 Twitter users have reportedly subscribed to Twitter Blue since its inception, according to reports.
Most recently, Twitter announced that non-premium users will no longer use the SMS two-factor authentication mechanism. Also, it plans to add a gold checkmark for business accounts, which will come at a higher monthly subscription.

Having said that, it’s challenging to deny the similarities between Twitter Blue, which Musk recently relaunched, and Meta’s new checkmark membership. Although we still don’t know what those additional safeguards are against fake accounts, it appears that Meta is taking account authenticity a little more seriously because it still asks users to provide government-issued identification (much like the old Twitter verification process did) and because it purports to offer additional protections against them. So let’s hope it won’t result in the influx of phony verified accounts that Twitter experienced last year.
