Meta launches paid subscriptions for Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp

Meta announced that users can now pay for subscription‑based features on its core apps. Instagram will offer “Subscriptions” that let creators charge followers for exclusive Stories, Reels, Live videos and badges. Facebook will roll out similar paid‑for content tools for creators, including subscriber‑only posts and groups. WhatsApp will introduce a paid “Business API” tier for larger companies, giving them higher message limits and advanced automation. The moves aim to diversify revenue beyond advertising and give creators new monetisation options. Views Nigeria
