If the profile is verified, users will get a blue tick next to their names, which has become a status symbol over the years. The subscription will offer an extra security feature to help authentic creators fight against impersonating accounts.
After Twitter, Meta Starts Selling Blue Verified Badge on Instagram and Facebook. A blue checkmark may mean two different things: the account has an active subscription to the new Twitter Blue subscription service and has met our eligibility criteria or the performance was previously verified under the legacy verification criteria (active, notable, and authentic).
Your account must be active and compliant with Twitter policies, which call for a profile name and image to be blue tick-verified. You must have logged into your account within the previous six months, and the report must be public at the time of application. Who can get verified on Facebook?
Although, in theory, anyone can get verified on Facebook, they must meet strict verification criteria to get approved. Besides following the company’s terms of service, your account should be: Authentic: It should represent a natural person, entity or business. Elon Musk-led micro blogging platform Twitter has brought the paid verification service for blue tick at monthly charges to users worldwide.
It lets users get a blue verified badge, post longer videos, edit a tweet, upload 1080p videos, see half the ads and many more benefits. Meta states that users must provide a government ID to be verified on Facebook and Instagram. Meta Verified’s features include a verified badge and more protection from impersonation.
Meta claims it wants to build a valuable subscription for everyone, including creators, businesses, and its community. Meta clarifies that users verified through the old method will retain their verified badge. The subscription will offer an extra security feature to help authentic creators fight against impersonating accounts.
Currently, the Meta Verified is being tested in Australia and New Zealand at $11.99 (around Rs 990) monthly on the web or $14.99 (around Rs 1,240) monthly on iPhones. Meta Verified’s price in India will likely be adjusted to appeal to a broader audience group. If the company retains the Rs 1,200, the subscription will be more expensive than Twitter Blue (Rs 900) and even Netflix’s premium plan (Rs 649).
Meta confirmed its subscription just weeks after a reverse engineer spotted its development within app codes. It comes days after Twitter rolled out a similar Twitter Blue subscription that bundles a verified badge. Earlier, Twitter and Meta platforms (Instagram and Facebook) let users get verified through a lengthy (and opaque) process.
The verified badge symbolizes authenticity but has become more of a status symbol. Do you want to get one? Now you can get one. We look at several factors when evaluating Facebook Pages and profiles to determine if they’re in the public interest and meet our verification criteria.
In addition to following our terms of service and the Facebook Community Standards, Pages and profiles need to be:
- Authentic: Represent a natural person, registered business or entity.
- Unique: Be the only presence of this person or business. Only one Page or profile per person or company may be verified, with exceptions for language-specific Pages and profiles. We don’t verify general interest Pages and shapes (for example, Puppy Memes).
- Complete: Have an about section, Page or profile photo and recent activity, including at least one post.
- Notable: Represent a well-known, often searched person, brand or entity. We review Pages and profiles featured in multiple news sources, and we don’t consider paid or promotional content as sources for review.
If your Page or profile doesn’t meet the criteria for a verified badge, other ways exist to let people know it’s authentic.
For example, you can link to it from an official website, Instagram profile or Twitter account.
