Social media subscriptions can remove ads or provide additional features to make your time spent on a particular platform more enjoyable.

An increasing number of social media apps are reducing their reliance on advertising as their primary source of revenue and offering paid-for memberships.

While the first of those two features has been controversial, Musk has defended it as necessary to keep Twitter bots, honed by ever-smarter AI, in check. Its primary benefit is “enhanced verification” on Facebook or Instagram, allowing users to get a paid-for verification badge on their profiles instead of going through Meta’s verification process for prominent accounts.

When signing up via iOS or Android, a Meta Verified sub on either Facebook or Instagram will cost $14.99 per month, while signing up via the web costs $11.99.
