Meta is coming up with a new subscription bundle on Instagram.

The bundle is known as “Meta Verified” which allows users to get a blue checkmark along with additional features.

Elon Musk acquired Twitter and he launched the Twitter Blue subscription to allow the users to get a blue checkmark.

Meta is doing the same and trying to copy the business model of Twitter by launching Meta Verified.

Currently, the subscription is launched in some countries which are United States, Australia, and New Zealand.

In this article, I will tell you how to get Meta Verified on Instagram in any country.

What does Meta Verified mean on Instagram?

Meta Verified on Instagram is a new subscription bundle that will help you to get additional features.

The features will be impersonation protections, increased visibility/support, and a blue checkmark.

The price of the subscription is $11.99 USD per month on the web and for android and iOS users, it is $14.99 USD per month.

According to Meta, the purpose of launching the bundle is to make it easier for users to build their presence on IG.

You have to meet minimum activity requirements to become eligible and you should be at least 18 years old.

To prove your identity, a government ID and a selfie video is also required.

How to get Meta Verified on Instagram

To get Meta Verified on Instagram, first visit the Accounts Center, select “Meta Verified”, and follow the instructions on the screen in order to get verified.

The verification process will require you to set up a payment method, provide an ID, and take a selfie video and it will prove your identity.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to get Meta Verified:

1. Go to the Instagram app and visit your profile and follow these steps: Menu > Settings > Accounts Center > Meta Verified.
2. After that, choose an account that you want to get Meta Verified.
3. After that > Add a payment method > Pay now.
4. Upload your ID > Take a selfie video > finish to complete the process.

Note: There are certain countries where Meta Verified is currently rolled out including the United States, Australia, and New Zealand—if you’re not from any of those countries, you have to join the wait list.

After uploading your ID and took a selfie video, you have to wait for 48 hours (2 days) for the verification to complete.

In some cases, the process can take more than 48 hours due to the load of submissions.

If your first attempt to verify your profile is not fulfilled and you are not trying it again, you’ll get a refund.

If you are refunded, you can apply again if you’re using Apple Pay, the process can take up to 60 days.

Do you want to contact Instagram about an issue you’re getting on the app?

If you ever tried contacting Instagram, it is a hard nut to crack to reach out to them.

In short, Instagram support is almost non-existent.

You can try sending them an email or calling them, but you will not get a response.

This is unsurprising because Instagram contains more than a billion monthly active users.

Instagram does not have enough team to respond the massive number of requests each day.

If you are getting an issue, it is advised to solve it on your own or try other means of contacting Instagram which I am going to mention in this guide.

By the end of this guide, you should be able to know the various methods of contacting Instagram if you have a problem with the app.

Let’s get started.

How do I contact Instagram about a problem?

So, the million-dollar question is how do I contact Instagram about a problem?

There are two main methods that can be used to contact Instagram — you can report an issue in the Instagram app or use the contact forms in the Help Center.

To contact Instagram about a problem, visit your profile on the IG app, tap on the menu available on the top-right-hand corner of your screen, tap on settings > help > report a problem.

In addition, you can go to Instagram’s Help Center to find contact forms for specific issues, for instance, copyright infringement, privacy violation, impersonation and so on.

You can also try contacting Instagram via their contact number, Instagram phone number is (650) 543-4800 or their email address at support@instagram.com.

However, most of the times, you’re will not get a response from them.

Scroll down to get a complete list of forms and other useful ways that can be used to contact Instagram (retrieved from Instagram’s Help Center).

If someone is violating your privacy such as sharing your intimate photos or videos, you can use this form.

At the beginning of the form, the first thing you need to tell them that the content that you’re reporting is a photo or a video.

After that, the next step is to provide a link to the content and choose whether a minor or yourself appears in the content that you are reporting.

After that, you will get two options including yes or no, it is a question to tell them whether you live in the United States. If you’re an adult and a resident of the United States, Instagram cannot delete the content for you.

After that, you must choose whether you are above 18 or under 18. If you are less than 18 years old and out of USA, the last details you’ll have to provide is your email address and details of how the content violates your privacy.

You will not be notified the consequence of the report, but if the account is deleted, it will not be available on Instagram.

Abuse & Spam Form

Abuse & Spam Form – To report content that violates the community guidelines of Instagram.

You can use this contact form if you think that content is inappropriate and violates Instagram’s Community Guidelines to report it.

However, if you are using an Instagram account, the app can be used to report this type of content.

This is only for those who do not have an account on Instagram.

After selecting no, you need to tell where the violation happened such as a photo, comment or video, how it violates the community guidelines of Instagram, your username, your email address and the full name of the user that you are reporting and a link to the violation.

However, if you want to report anyone else, you should include a link to the content.

How to contact Instagram using Twitter

You can also try Twitter platform to connect with Instagram.

Usually, the users try to tweet the issue if there is an outage of the app to attract their attention so they can fix the problem.

Apart from that, they do not reply to any tweets.

Here’s the process of how you can do it.

Firstly, visit Instagram’s Twitter profile, and click on ‘Tweet’.

After clicking on ‘Tweet’, you will see a pop-up modal and it’ll automatically tag Instagram.

After that, you can send them a tweet after composing it.

You need to keep in mind that if you ask questions about Instagram stickers such as why don’t I have this ‘x’ sticker? There is a great chance that they will tell you that certain stickers are given out to various devices at different times.

Therefore, the process can take up to a couple of weeks for the sticker to be available on android/iPhone.

How to contact Instagram if your account is disabled

If your Instagram account is disabled, there is a great chance that you have violated one or more of community guidelines of Instagram or Terms of Use.

If you think that your account was disabled by mistake, you can appeal and to do that, you need to follow the instructions on the screen to get it re-enabled.

However, if you or anyone else has deleted your account, you will not be able to restore it.

In this case, you are only left with one option which is to create a new account.

How to contact Instagram if you can’t log in to your Instagram account

If you can’t log in to your Instagram account, the first thing you should do is try troubleshooting it yourself rather than contacting Instagram support.

If you forgot your Instagram username, you can ask your friend to find it or you can see it from the following or followers list of your friend.

In case, you forgot your Instagram password on your android device, it can be reset by tapping ‘Get help signing in’ on the login screen, choose username/email, send an SMS or Log In via Facebook.

If you are an iPhone user, follow these steps: tap on Forgot Password above the login screen > username or phone > provide your username, email address, or phone number.

How to Fix Instagram Double Tap Not Working

Are you facing an “Instagram keeps stopping” error on your Android device?

You will get three options including “App info”, “Close app”, and “Send feedback”.

You can send your feedback to Instagram by using the “Send feedback” option.

However, it will not fix Instagram from stopping or not opening.

In this post, I will guide you on how to fix “Instagram keeps stopping” on Android devices and why the error message happens.

Why does Instagram keep stopping?

Instagram keeps stopping because the app is not up.

If Instagram is working fine, it’s usually happening due to a bug or glitch.

To check the status of Instagram, you can utilize DownDetector or Twitter.

Search for “Instagram” on DownDetector and to see the graph and find out.

If there is a spike on the graph, it clearly indicates that IG is down.

You can also search for the term “Instagram down” on Twitter and see if anyone else is facing the same issue.

Instagram went down multiple times throughout the years, so it is now a common trend on the app.

Additionally, bugs and glitches are common due to frequent app updates.

If you’re experiencing the error message—don’t worry—you can use various ways to fix it.

How to fix “Instagram keeps stopping”

Here are the methods that guide you on How to fix “Instagram keeps stopping” (6 methods):

• The first way is to install Instagram Lite: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.instagram.lite
• The second method is to clear the cache of the app by following these steps: Open the Settings app > Apps > Instagram > Storage > Clear Cache > Clear Data > re-open Instagram.
• Download an older version of Instagram from uptodown.com (for Android devices) using this link: https://instagram.en.uptodown.com/android/versions.
• Uninstall and reinstall Instagram.
• Update Instagram to the latest version.
• Lastly, you can wait for 24 to 48 hours.

You can fix this crash easily by clearing the cache of Instagram (and the first way to fix it).

After clearing Instagram’s cache and data, the app will be refreshed and will fix certain errors like loading or freezing.

However, it will also remove your login details and you will be logged out.

Consequently, you will have to use your credentials to log in to your Instagram account.

Installing an older version of Instagram is another useful way until the app releases a new update to fix the bug.

Uptodown contains the older version of the app and you can install them.

Unfortunately, this method is suitable for android users not for iOS users.

If you are not on the latest version of Instagram, you should update it.

Certain updates come with bug fixes and improvements that will remove the “Instagram keeps stopping” error.

To update the app, you can also use the uninstall and reinstall app method.

This method will clear the cache and data of the app.

The irony is that some updates that are meant to fix the bugs come up with additional bugs.

In this case, you need to wait for a new update from Instagram to fix the bugs.

If these methods do not work, you need to wait for 24 to 48 hours before starting to use the Instagram app again.

In some cases, Instagram might be down for every user due to issues with the server, database or the app.

In this case, you need to have patience and check back periodically to see if the issue is solved.

DownDetector can also be used to monitor downtime.

If the trend of the graph is going down, it shows that the issue is most likely resolved.

Why is my Insta not opening?

Your Insta is not opening because it might be down.

Otherwise, it’s happening because of a bug or a glitch on the app.

Instagram outages are the burning questions that can be faced throughout the years and can get fixed within a few hours.

Alternatively, bugs and glitches can also occur after an update.

In this case, your best bet is to wait for a follow-up update that fixes them.
