Instagram made it super easy to apply by adding Request Verification in your settings, in which each user can submit their instagram handle, and photo id or documentation of sorts to be considered. Even though there’s no guarantee that if you submit you’ll get the coveted blue check mark, this process will hopefully keep Instagram users safer.
There has been a rise of scam accounts, and fake accounts created for many business owners, and companies, this process not only opens it up to people who have large bases, but to people who don’t but still need that verification to help their business along.
Let’s face it, when you see that badge, you trust! Instagram says;
“In September, people who have accounts that reach large audiences can review the information about their accounts that will soon be publicly available. After that, the “About This Account” tool will be available to the global community….
In addition to the “About This Account” feature, the blue verified badge is an important way for you to know that the account you are interacting with is the authentic presence of a notable public figure, celebrity, global brand or entity. Today we are enabling a new way for accounts that reach large audiences and meet our criteria to request verification through a form within the Instagram app.” Full Press Release Here
