Enhance your online presence and security with new authentication features
In an exciting development for social media enthusiasts in Nepal, it is now possible to get the coveted verification badge (the famous blue tick) for both Facebook and Instagram accounts. This recent update of platform giant Meta, which has been rolled out globally, brings new access to the users of the picturesque nation of Nepal.
Previously, individuals in Nepal faced significant hurdles in obtaining the prestigious verification badge, as no official mechanism existed to obtain it by paying a fee. However, with this latest feature, residents of Nepal as well as users from specific regions around the world can now get the coveted Blue Tick by paying $7.99 per month, roughly equivalent to one thousand Nepali Rupees.
Meta emphasized that this initiative will not only increase the authenticity of users but also strengthen the security of their accounts. Those who opt for this paid feature will also enjoy dedicated customer support, ensuring a more seamless and secure social networking experience.
In addition to personal accounts, Meta has also unveiled a new business verification feature, catering to entrepreneurs and businesses leveraging Facebook and Instagram for promotional purposes. Users can opt for Instagram verification at a cost of $22 or combine both platforms for $35. According to reports from The Verge, the feature is set to be available from next week. Business-authenticated users will receive access to exclusive features and priority support, enhancing their online presence and engagement.
Meta further revealed that verified users will see an expansion in their post reach and prominence in search results. Additionally, WhatsApp users can create a web-like landing page, increasing their visibility and engagement on the popular messaging platform.
Notably, the move follows in the footsteps of Twitter boss, Elon Musk, who recently introduced a similar paid authentication feature on the microblogging platform. Initially, Twitter offered free verification badges, but the company later transitioned to a paid model, resulting in users paying for the iconic blue checkmark. This shift underscores the growing importance of verified accounts in establishing credibility and authenticity in the digital realm.
Finally, Meta's latest move to implement Facebook and Instagram verification badges in Nepal opens up exciting opportunities for individuals and businesses alike. With increased security, visibility and support, users can now enhance their online presence like never before. As the digital landscape continues to evolve, verification badges are becoming an indispensable tool for building trust and credibility in the online world.
