Now it is possible to get the blue sign Verified on Facebook and Instagram for $ 11.99

Instagram Facebook and Instagram subscribers have launched a paid Verification Service "Meta Verified", which allows you to receive a blue check next to the username and use other services, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said. The Meta Verified subscription costs $ 11.99 in the US and $ 15 in iOS apps when purchased on the website.

Zuckerberg notes that the subscription provides users with additional protection against hacker attacks and direct access to the Customer Support Service. The new subscription function is tested in Australia and New Zealand. It is later used in other countries.

It is noted that in order to receive the service, users over 18 years old must provide official identification, and its details must correspond to the information on the account. After verification, it will not be possible to change the account name, username, date of birth or photo without re-confirming it.

The launch of the new service does not affect the previously checked accounts. In addition, the subscription does not apply to corporate accounts.

It is worth noting that paid verification is being introduced after Twitter leader Elon Musk launched a similar system in November 2022, but this initially gave a negative result, which worried many advertisers.
