Before you begin

• To subscribe to Meta Verified, you need to meet the eligibility requirements and have two-factor authentication enabled on your profile(s).
• If you subscribe two profiles, your Instagram and Facebook accounts for the profiles you subscribe need to be added to the same Accounts Center. Your profile name and picture may also need to be the same on both profiles.
