- Subscription Pilot: Meta plans to pilot new subscription models across its apps, including Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp, over the coming months, aiming to enhance user productivity and creativity by providing access to more features and expanded AI capabilities.
- AI Capability Expansion: The recently acquired suite of general AI agents under Manus will be integrated into the subscription plans, expected to offer paid users enhanced AI support, thereby improving user experience and driving innovation on the platform.
- User Feedback Emphasis: Meta stated it will listen to its user community and gather feedback during the rollout of the subscription service, a strategy that not only helps optimize product features but also enhances user engagement and loyalty.
- Distinction from Meta Verified: The new subscription service will be separate from the Meta Verified product launched in 2023, which provided content creators and businesses with a verified badge, 24/7 support, and impersonation protection, further enriching Meta's paid product offerings.
