Meta announced Facebook Verified, a free selfie-based identity verification badge intended to signal accounts are operated by real people rather than bots or AI-generated profiles. Users (18+) complete a short video selfie that is checked against profile photos; eligible accounts in good standing receive a badge shown on Profiles and in Marketplace, Dating, and Groups (Feed to follow). The feature excludes accounts showing inauthentic behavior and is separate from the paid Meta Verified subscription.
