We all know that Meta has finally released their Twitter rival, “Threads.” However, some people are concerned about Threads’ Instagram tweaks. In particular, they worry that these platforms are accessible globally and that someone could misuse their identity. To address this, Meta added a feature on Instagram to request verification, which gives users blue ticks and unique profiles.
The same scenario applies to people who worry about getting a blue tick on Threads, a sister app. It is possible to get that blue tick if you are notable and famous in the public interest. However, Threads is an emerging social media platform, so many users need help verifying. After noting this, we looked at what could be done in this case. Let us talk about what we have.
How to Get a Verified Blue Tick on Threads on Instagram
Instagram’s Threads app got 70 million sign-ups in two days. Therefore, almost all Twitter users must have their accounts on Threads. However, there is a greater chance that someone could misuse your profile to commit fraud. In such cases, blue tick verification matters a lot. After all, if such a tick appears beside your username, all privacy concerns are solved.
You might wonder how to get a blue tick. If you already have blue-tick verification on Instagram, it will automatically apply to all meta platforms, including threads. For users who have not verified their Instagram accounts, Instagram has a “Request Verification” option that you can use to request that Instagram validate your profile. This way, it will only be verified when notable and public. Follow the steps below to get blue-tick verification using Instagram’s Legacy option.
Note: Doing blue tick verification using Instagram’s Legacy option seems like a straightforward way to do it, but it does not guarantee a blue tick.
- Open the Instagram app.
- Tap on your profile icon in the bottom-right corner.
- Tap on the hamburger menu and select Settings and Privacy.
- Search for Request Verification and tap on the result.
- Please fill out the form that comes on your screen and submit it.
- If you deserve it, Instagram will look at your profile and give you a blue tick.
The above steps may or may not grant you a blue tick over threads. However, recently, Meta (the parent company) introduced Meta Verification. From there, you must pay a monthly subscription and get a blue-tick verified profile on Threads. The behavior seems like what you would expect from Twitter, but there is a particular benefit for you here. With this single subscription, you will get a blue-tick verified profile on all Meta platforms. So, if you still need to get confirmed through Instagram’s request verification, follow these steps to ensure guaranteed blue tick verification on all threads.
Note: Meta Verified is currently limited to certain countries, such as India, the US, the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
- Open the Instagram app on your device.
- Tap on your profile icon, then the hamburger menu.
- Scroll down and tap on Meta Verified, then Subscribe.
- Choose the Instagram account connected with Threads and tap on Sign Up.
- The next screen will show the subscription price (₹699/month). Tap on Pay Now.
- Confirm the transaction and wait 48 hours for Meta to verify it.
- Please provide proof of valid ID to Meta and submit it.
- After ID verification, your Threads account will receive a blue tick.
In conclusion, I hope you have all the details for getting blue-tick verification on Meta Platforms, including the newly launched Threads app. Now, trying Instagram’s request verification or Meta Verified if available in your country is up to you.
