Other things, fun things, coming to Instagram, Facebook… for a price 6 June 2026 Sarah Perez, writing for TechCrunch https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/27/meta-officially-launches-instagram-facebook-and-whatsapp-subscriptions-with-more-to-come-including-ai-plans/ : For a few dollars per month, consumers subscribing to Instagram Plus $3.99/mo , Facebook Plus $3.99/mo , or WhatsApp Plus $2.99/mo will gain access to extra features, like profile customization, super reactions, and story insights, among other things. In addition to these “other things”, Meta also says “more fun features” are imminent. Too bad I removed all the Meta apps from my phone a while back. 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. Is 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.
