As a curious and tech-savvy individual, I decided to try out Meta Verified, the new verification program offered by Meta for Facebook and Instagram users. I tested it out on my personal Facebook account to see what the process was like, what benefits it offered, and whether it was worth the cost. In this blog post, I'll share my experience and provide you with everything you need to know about Meta Verified.

How much does Meta verified cost?

The sign-up process was straightforward, and I was able to enroll in Meta Verified through the Facebook settings menu. However, I noticed a discrepancy in pricing between the mobile app and desktop version. On the app, Meta Verified costs $14.99 per month, while on desktop, it's $11.99 per month. I'm not sure why there's a price difference, but it's worth noting.

How to get to Meta verified?

The verification process was quick and efficient. I uploaded a government-issued ID and a selfie, and within a few minutes, my account was verified. The verified badge appeared on my profile, and I was able to enjoy the benefits of Meta Verified.

Is it worth it to get Meta verified?

So, what are the benefits of Meta Verified? Here are a few things I've noticed since enrolling in the program:

- Increased Security: With Meta Verified, I receive alerts whenever I (or someone) try to log in to my account from a new device or location.

- More Visibility: My verified badge gives me more visibility on Facebook and Instagram. My posts and comments are more likely to be seen by others. Enrolling in the program will also ‘supposedly’ give an increase in engagement.

- Exclusive Features: Meta Verified offers exclusive features like advanced account protection and improved customer support. But how much do you need it?

For me, it’s been about the same experience as when my profile was not Facebook verified. However, depending on how or why you use the platform, it might be worthwhile.

Support for Facebook Pages

One of the benefits of Meta Verified is the ability to talk to real people for support. However, I was disappointed to find that the support team simply follows the same steps already outlined in the self-help Facebook blog. While it's nice to have human support, I wish they could offer more customized solutions to specific problems.

Customization Options

Speaking of customization, I wish Meta Verified offered more options for users. For example, it would be great to be able to choose whether or not to display the verified badge, or to show or hide your follower count. These may seem like small things, but they would make a big difference in terms of user experience.

Bundle Options

As someone who manages multiple accounts across Instagram and Facebook, I wish Meta Verified offered bundle options. It would be much more cost-effective to pay for a single subscription that covers all of my accounts, rather than paying separately for each one.

Conclusion

Overall, my experience with Meta Verified has been neutral. The verification process was quick and easy, and I appreciate the added security and visibility that the program offers. However, there are some areas for improvement, particularly when it comes to customization options and bundle pricing.

If you're considering enrolling in Meta Verified, here are a few things to keep in mind:

- Be aware of the pricing discrepancy between the app and desktop version

- Make sure you have a government-issued ID to verify your identity

- Don't expect too much from the support team – they're mostly following the same steps as the self-help blog

- Wish for more customization options and bundle pricing in the future!
