JE Technology Desk: Meta recently announced the testing of its Meta Verified service in India for Instagram and Facebook, which is similar to what Twitter Blue offers. However, one key difference is that already verified Instagram and Facebook accounts would remain unaffected by this change, CEO Mark Zuckerberg shared in a Broadcast channel. Since the announcement, how to get Instagram and Facebook accounts verified in India has emerged as the top question. Well, here is the answer.

The company will authenticate user accounts through government IDs and a selfie video (in some cases). Features in Meta Verified include a verified badge, protection from impersonation, account assistance and other exclusive features. With this background, here's a step-by-step on how to get your Facebook and Instagram accounts verified.

Meta Verified: How To Get Your Facebook and Instagram account verified

Step 1: Open Facebook or Instagram on your Android or iPhone (or any other supported device)

Step 2: Tap on your profile

Step 3: Head to 'Settings' and then tap on 'Account Centre'

Step 4: Find the 'Meta Verified' option (If the option is not available, update your social media apps or wait for a few days)

Step 5: Opt for the preferred mode of payment

Step 6: Follow the on-screen instructions and verify via a government-approved ID

Step 7: After the authentication process is complete, the benefits of Meta Verfied will be available on your account

Meta Verified India Price

The price of the Meta Verified starts from Rs 699/month on Android and iOS. In the future, a web option for Rs 599/month will also roll out.

Meta Verified Subscription Eligibility

Meanwhile, it seems that Meta followed the footsteps of Elon Musk-led Twitter which also announced its Twitter Blue service in the past. This change in the micro-blogging platform was among the sweeping changes after the leadership change.
