Meta tests paid subscriptions on social platforms, offering extra features and more user control.
Meta is planning to start testing paid subscriptions for Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp. The trials will begin in the coming months. Paid versions will offer users extra features, including more control over how they share information and interact with others.
For Instagram, the subscription will allow unlimited contact lists, view followers who do not follow back, and watch Stories without being seen by the author. Meta may also introduce new AI-based functions, including the Manus AI agent.
