Instagram reportedly working on Twitter Blue-like paid verification subscription

Meta-owned Instagram is said to be working on a subscription service similar to Twitter Blue. The popular photo-sharing social media app is working on paid verification services according to the recent code snippets discovered by developer Alessandro Paluzzi. 

Paluzzi said words like Paid, Blue and Badge are visible in Instagram’s code snippets, which could mean the feature might actually be coming soon. 

However, as there is no official word from Meta, Facebook or Instagram the feature can still change, evolve or not come at all in the future.
