Titled Meta Verified, the service was first announced by the tech giant's CEO Mark Zuckerberg earlier this year
Meta first launched the subscription service in Australia and New Zealand but has now begun the process of offering it to its Irish users. It can be purchased via Facebook and Instagram for €16.99 a month on iOS and Android and for €13.99 a month on a web browser.
The move follows Elon Musk launching a revamped version of Twitter's own blue tick verification service, Twitter Blue, which also allows users to get a verified profile and other benefits. However, in contrast to Twitter, Meta has said that there will be"no changes to accounts on Instagram and Facebook that are already verified based on prior requirements, including authenticity and notability."
