Meta introduces $12 monthly subscription for Facebook and Instagram verification
Meta CEO, Mark Zuckerberg announced on his verified Facebook that the paid verification would be rolled out this week.
He said the move would let users verify their accounts with a government-issued ID and get extra impersonation protection against impostors.
Verified users would also get access to customer support as the new feature is about increasing the authenticity and security across all Meta services.
He said iOS users would be the first to benefit at $11.99 per month, and Web users to pay $14.99 monthly for the blue badge. Zuckerberg said the services would be rolled out in New Zealand and Australia this week and more countries to follow soon.
Zuckerberg said: “This week, we’re starting to roll out Meta Verified — a subscription service that lets you verify your account with a government ID, get a blue badge, get extra impersonation protection against accounts claiming to be you, and get direct access to customer support.
“This new feature is about increasing authenticity and security across our services. Meta Verified starts at $11.99 / month on web or $14.99 / month on iOS. We’ll be rolling out in Australia and New Zealand this week and more countries soon.
According to reports, the extra charge for iPhone users reflects the 30% cut that Apple takes on revenues from apps for iOS, its operating system for iPhones and iPads.
