The CEO of Meta, Mark Zuckerberg, has today announced that Meta is putting up Meta Verified on Instagram and Facebook in the United States.
This new service will allow users of the Meta apps to add the blue verification mark to their Facebook and Instagram account for a monthly fee.
It will be recalled that Meta Verified was first made available in Australia and New Zealand.
As announced by Mark Zuckerberg, the Meta Verified will go for $11.99 per month on the web and $14.99 per month on mobile.
Speaking on the Meta Channel on Instagram on Friday, the CEO announced that “Meta Verified is rolling out in the US today.”
He also disclosed that: “You can get a badge, proactive impersonation protection and direct access to customer support.”
The Meta Verified is an adaptation from Elon Musk’s Twitter verification badge service.
It will be recalled that after Musk bought Twitter last year, the Telsa made the verification badge available to users for $8 per month.
