On Sunday, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in an Instagram update that a “Meta Verified” account will provide users a verified badge, improved visibility on the platforms, prioritised customer service, and more. Meta is piloting premium Instagram and Facebook verification for $11.99 per month on the web and $14.99 per month on mobile.
To become Meta Verified, you must achieve minimum activity requirements, be at least 18 years old, and provide a government ID that matches the name and photo you have on Facebook or Instagram.
This functionality will be available in Australia and New Zealand this week, and will be available in more countries soon.Â
