How to Get Verified on Instagram Desktop: Because Pixels Crave Prestige Too (Even Though You Can't Actually Do It)
Ah, the coveted blue checkmark. A symbol of fame, fortune, and... the ability to flex on all your non-verified friends (sorry, Sarah from accounting). But here's the thing: Instagram verification, like that free trip to Tahiti you never won, is shrouded in a bit of mystery. Especially when it comes to the desktop version.
Hold on, there's no verification on desktop?
Nope! As of today, March 25th, 2024, you can only apply for verification through the Instagram app. Think of it like applying for a library card - gotta do it in person (well, virtually in person, but you get the idea).
QuickTip: Take a pause every few paragraphs.
But I Want to Feel Important From My Desk Chair!
Don't worry, we've all been there. The good news is, while you can't officially request verification from your desktop, you can use this time to become so darn awesome that Instagram practically throws the blue checkmark at you. Here's how:
Tip: Reread key phrases to strengthen memory.
-
Content is King (or Queen, or They/Them Royalty): Start posting incredible stuff. Hilarious memes? Breathtaking travel pics? Food that looks like it should be in a museum? Whatever your niche, make it fire.
-
Engage Like a Social Butterfly (on Steroids): Respond to comments, host Q&As, run polls. Basically, turn your comment section into a digital mosh pit of delightful interaction.
-
Be a Social Media Sherlock: Research relevant hashtags, follow industry leaders, and collaborate with other cool cats. The algorithm loves connections, and so will your follower count.
-
Polish Your Profile Like a Pro: A blurry selfie and a bio that says "Just here for a good time" isn't going to cut it. Craft a killer bio, use high-quality profile pics, and make sure your feed is aesthetically pleasing (even if your aesthetic is "mildly chaotic").
Okay, I'm Basically Beyonce Now. What Next?
Once you've become a social media superstar (or at least well on your way), keep an eye out for news about verification on desktop. Maybe they'll roll out a feature, maybe carrier pigeons will deliver verification badges, who knows? The point is, keep creating awesome content and the blue checkmark will eventually just be a formality.
Tip: Don’t skip — flow matters.

But Seriously, Folks
QuickTip: Focus on what feels most relevant.
While verification is a cool status symbol, remember that it's not everything. Focus on creating great content, connecting with your audience, and having fun. The fame and fortune (or at least the bragging rights) will likely follow.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go get back to work on my most gram-worthy ramen noodle sculpture yet. #CarbCouture #VerificationDreams
