Meta to Launch Premium Subscription Services Across Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp
Meta Platforms is preparing to test new subscription models across its major applications, including Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp, offering enhanced features and advanced AI capabilities.
Meta is introducing subscription plans for Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp to provide users with advanced AI tools and enhanced features. The company acquired Manus, an AI startup, for $2 billion to develop AI agents for these subscriptions.
While Meta's Llama language models remain free and open-source, unlike competitors, the new subscription model represents a shift toward monetizing AI services. The paid plans may include premium access to Vibes, Meta's AI video creation platform, which currently offers free basic features. These subscriptions differ from Meta Verified, an existing paid service for creators.
Meta is actively gathering user feedback as it rolls out these subscription options across its platforms.
