Verified on
Instagram – It was formally exclusive to celebrities, public figure, global
brands or entities but now, it is open to everyone.
Infact it was very
difficult to get verified on on Instagram before now, but that’s changed. Now
anyone can easily request a verified badge – wait for the process to complete
and get verified.
Being verified
means your account has been confirmed as authentic by Instagram. This helps
people avoid imposters and easily find the brands or public figures they want
to follow. Verified accounts have a little blue check mark beside their name.
