Paid Instagram Verification is here “Meta Verified”

Not for me, don’t see it

If you check like Fox news or any other news site you can’t click on their blue checkmark.

Has anyone signed up for Meta Verified and what is the status shown on it?

i dmed u regarding a service hour ago check please

Me too

Any aussies or kiwis have the option for them yet? Don’t think it’s a vpn issue. Seems like it hasn’t been officially rolled out and available for purchasing yet?

I’m in AUS, still is saying “not available in my country” even though I’m from Australia & my account is based in Australia.

Don’t think it’s “officially” out yet.

Thanks! I think it’s rolling out (eg. help pages and info pages being released) but it’s not available for purchase yet. Hopefully in another few hours it will launch!

The only way you can is by clicking on ‘About’ and see when they got verified (everyone before February 2023), but it doesn’t directly state that it was notable though.

Update: that seems to be removed now too, so you can’t recognise it at all anymore

This is going to lead to a huge amount of scams with people pretending to be others.

It’s not hard to photoshop an ID…

Anyone get the verified?

So they basically killed a point of verified badge, how in the hell are you supposed to differentiate a kid with 15$ and a real celebrity, this will lead to huge ammount of scams

So if anyone make mark fake id and use fake card to buy then what meta will do becouse every one know photoshop is easy way or maybe the will do live cemra photo?

They will change the rules once public figures and celebs stop advertising on the platform due to scams.

My guess is that meta verified won’t stay blue for long

They will cash, do the “whoops we fucked up” and launch another thing to distinguish notable from Meta verified people.

Try on Facebook clicking on the blue checkmark of fox news, CNN even the weather channel. You can’t. They don’t pull up the meta verified pop up

It’s showing that same description even for notable individuals.
