I saw that, but I cant imagine they'll be passing them out like candy.You can request it now if your profile meets some criteria
Like Froger mentioned, it's not just the number of followers you've but who you actually are as a person.
You could be a very well recognized B2B business who isn't very popular.
Or you could be a developer/promoted/supplier who's brand is a client of Instagram and puts a lot of money on advertisements.
Or it could be that your best friend works with the Instagram verification department.
The possibilities are basically endless, but at the end of the day, it's all about your network of people you know and the amount of money you have in your account.
I'll answer the questions but won't help u get verified.
You get verified by either contacting Instagram and submitting a formal request,, if you're a persona(athlete, incorporated business, artist etc) -and they don't give a fuck how many follow u have my friend isba football player he's verified and only has 1.5k followers.
Being verified gets you access to beta features like adding links to story or "tap to shop" feature before it was available to the rest.
That's about it. You can also get verified without being a business account. But rly, just adds swag to you. Overly fancy overrated overhyped piece of name that can be faked by adding a blue circle at the end of your name lmao
The over-hype IS why it is valuable. It is still rare at the moment and it is rumored that you have much higher, if any limits to your actions.
how is this possible? Is it scam?
