Are all verified IG accounts paying subscription for the blue check ?
Verified badges are different from Meta Verified.
- [Verified badges] confirm that a notable account is the authentic presence for that person or brand.
- [Meta Verified] is a paid subscription that confirms the account is validated and authentic. This subscription comes with a bundle of features and benefits available for both [eligible profiles] and [eligible businesses].
If you already have an existing verified badge based on prior requirements, you can still [sign up for Meta Verified].
Verified badges help people more easily find the public figures, celebrities and brands they want to follow.
