I still check in on Instagram and, occasionally, Facebook, through the websites, via my laptop. This has the bonus of restricting exposure to Meta products to work hours only. I don’t know how many, if any, of these new “plus” features will be available through the website though.\n\nIs it smart for someone who writes in the general tech space, to evade these products? Probably not, but Meta is not the entirety of tech.\n\nRELATED CONTENT\n\n[smartphones](https://disassociated.com/tag/smartphones/), [social media](https://disassociated.com/tag/social-media/), [technology](https://disassociated.com/tag/technology/)", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/other-things-fun-things-coming-to-instagram-facebook-for-a-price", "canonical_source": "https://disassociated.com/other-things-fun-things-coming-instagram-facebook/", "published_at": "2026-06-05 21:00:49+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-06 00:11:31.069896+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-products"], "entities": ["Meta", "Instagram", "Facebook", "WhatsApp", "TechCrunch", "Sarah Perez", "Instagram Plus", "Facebook Plus"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/other-things-fun-things-coming-to-instagram-facebook-for-a-price", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/other-things-fun-things-coming-to-instagram-facebook-for-a-price.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/other-things-fun-things-coming-to-instagram-facebook-for-a-price.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/other-things-fun-things-coming-to-instagram-facebook-for-a-price.jsonld"}}
