Meta to trial premium subscriptions for Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp

What happened: Meta is introducing trial premium subscription options for Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp, while keeping basic access to these platforms free.

Why it matters:

  • Users may gain access to additional features by subscribing to premium services.
  • The move could change how social media platforms generate revenue and affect user experience.

MNN Take: Meta aims to offer enhanced features through paid subscriptions without removing free access, testing new ways to monetise its services.
