Meta is preparing to introduce paid premium subscriptions across its major platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp, according to a new report. These subscriptions are expected to focus on advanced AI-powered features and additional tools beyond what is currently available to free users.
The company has emphasized that the core versions of Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp will remain free. However, a new premium layer will be added for users who want access to more advanced capabilities by paying a monthly fee.
Meta clarified that these upcoming subscriptions are separate from Meta Verified, the existing paid service that offers account verification and identity-related benefits. Instead, the new plans are expected to focus more heavily on AI-driven tools and enhanced functionality.
At this stage, Meta has not disclosed specific details about which premium features will be available on each platform, nor has it announced official pricing. The company has only confirmed that more information will be shared in the coming months.
This move is widely seen as part of Meta’s broader strategy to diversify its revenue streams and offset the rising costs of developing and operating large-scale artificial intelligence systems, signaling a potential shift in how users interact with its social platforms.
