Meta Verified will only be accessible to verify Facebook profiles, not pages, according to sources. The Tech portal released a screenshot of what appeared to be a policy page on Twitter on Saturday to bolster the assertion.

It read: “You can subscribe to Meta Verified to receive a verified badge for your profile. 

Note: Meta Verified is available to verify profiles only, not Pages. Notable Pages can still apply for a verified badge.”

This announcement from Facebook comes after another social media platform, Twitter has started to charge premium under Twitter Blue subscription which offers blue tick to subscribers.
