Meta has introduced Facebook Verified, a free badge that indicates an account belongs to a real person. According to YugaTech, the feature aims to enhance authenticity and trust on the platform.
The new badge is separate from Meta's paid verification services previously offered through Meta Verified. It is designed to help users easily identify legitimate accounts, particularly public figures and brands.
The rollout is part of Meta's ongoing efforts to combat impersonation and misinformation. Availability details and eligibility criteria are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
