The new code indicates that Meta Instagram will support paid authentication

CTOnews.com, February 4, Instagram's latest update includes code that indicates that it is working to add paid authentication to the platform, similar to Twitter Blue subscriptions. The code itself refers to a string of texts that discuss the "paid blue badge" and new subscription products that are said to be under development. This reference also exists in the latest version of the Facebook application.

This code was discovered by developer Alessandro Paluzzi, who often talks about upcoming features before the platform is released, not limited to Instagram.

CTOnews.com learned that Instagram had been open to new features on its platform, such as quiet mode and release plans. But this time, Instagram chose not to comment on the findings.

Currently, these code strings only indicate that Meta has been working to add this feature to the platform, and it is not quite certain whether the feature will be introduced in the future.
