How To Buy Blue Tick On Instagram In India |
But wait! Don't go swiping your credit card just yet...
There are a few minor...well, maybe not so minor... details to consider before you become the next Instagram oligarch.
QuickTip: Note key words you want to remember.![]()
- Famous? Not mandatory (but highly recommended). While Meta doesn't explicitly require you to be a household name (phew!), having a decent following and some established credibility on the platform certainly helps. Think of it as buying your way into a VIP club - they at least want to make sure you're not a complete nobody causing a ruckus with the velvet ropes.
- Be prepared to prove you're the real you (unless you're Beyonce, then maybe not). Meta isn't just handing out blue badges like candy on Diwali. You'll need to pony up a government ID to verify your identity. So, no more catfish schemes - your grandma will know exactly who's posting those questionable avocado art pictures.
- This ain't a one-time purchase, my friend. The blue tick life is a subscription service, baby! That means you gotta keep that Rs. 699 flowing every month, or poof goes your badge and your newfound internet legitimacy.
So, is the blue badge worth the moolah? Well, that depends. If you're a budding influencer or entrepreneur, that little blue checkmark can definitely add a touch of trust and authority to your profile. But if your main goal is to impress your aunt who still thinks Facebook is a dating app, then maybe stick to strategically placed inspirational quotes and flawless food photography.

Ultimately, the decision is yours. But hey, at least now you know your options! So go forth, conquer the algorithm, and maybe, just maybe, snag yourself that blue badge (and remember, with great verification comes great responsibility...use your power wisely!).
