What is Meta Verified?

Meta Verified is a paid subscription model to get the blue check for your profile on Facebook and Instagram. It will authenticate your account with the help of government ID, proactive account protection, increased visibility and reach, and access to account support.

As per the blog post by the CEO of Meta, Meta Verified is a solution for the request from creators for broad access to verification and account support along with features for better visibility and reach.

As of now, the Meta Verified is being tested in Australia and New Zealand starting later this week. The pricing model for both countries is as follows:

  • Australia: AUD 19.99 on the web, AUD 24.99 on iOS and Android.
  • New Zealand: NZD 23.99 on the web, NZD 29.99 on iOS and Android.

After the testing period, it will roll out the verification services globally for everyone. The vision behind Meta Verified is to ensure that we are interacting and following authentic creators. However, the already verified accounts won’t be affected by the Meta Verified!

What will you get with the Meta Verified?

With Meta Verified, you won’t only spend money but will get added benefits as well. The benefits include:

What will you get with the Meta Verified
