A few months ago, at the beginning of the year, Meta introduced and launched its Meta Verified program, which is very brief something quite similar to what Twitter did with Twitter Blue, that is, to create a higher level of use of the service, which has some exclusive benefits associated with it and which of course is not free. And as we have seen (and criticized) in the Musk network, in this case the “extra” level is directly related to the verification of user accounts.

Since when we talk about Meta we can mean two social networks, Facebook and Instagram, it is important to clarify at this point that each of them has its own verification and that it really doesn’t apply to one for the other. Users who wish to have a verified account on both Facebook and Instagram will have to go through the checkout for each separately. Maybe in the future Meta will offer a discounted price for double verification, but as of today there is no sign of that.

Subscribing to Meta Verified on either platform brings some benefits, but only a small portion of users will be interested. The main one, as in the case of Twitter, and which we can deduce already from the name of the program, is the one grants its users an authenticated status that is visually represented and check blue next to the name. In addition, it also offers priority technical support and active surveillance against account theft.

And the news is like this Meta has already started deploying Meta Verified in Spain, although it is true that at the moment access to it is through a waiting list, meaning that it cannot be arranged directly. We understand that this is due to the fact that Meta initially wants to evaluate the interest that its subscription model arouses in our country, and also that it is waiting for the said volume to create the human and technical resources necessary for the verification of accounts and their tracking service.

The monthly cost of Meta Verified for each of the services is 13.99 euros if ordered directly from the websiteor 16.99 if users choose to rent it through apps. And I remember, as I mentioned earlier, that Facebook and Instagram each have their own verification program, so users who want to verify their profiles on both networks will have to pay 26.98 to 33.98 euros per month.
