Cancel Meta Verified from the Instagram app
The supplied video demonstrates how to cancel a Meta Verified subscription in the Instagram app. It does not show the steps for canceling a Fox One subscription, so you should not use these instructions for Fox One billing.
Canceling Meta Verified stops the subscription from renewing. You will keep your verified benefits until the end date Instagram shows during the cancellation process. That includes the blue verified badge until those benefits expire.
These steps apply to a Meta Verified subscription started in the Instagram app. If you subscribed in a browser on a computer, the video says that process is different and does not show the browser cancellation steps.
Video Tutorial
Steps to cancel your Meta Verified subscription
- Open the Instagram app.
- Go to your Instagram profile.
- Select the three lines in the top-right corner to open the settings.
- Select Accounts Center, which is the first option shown in the settings.
- Select Subscriptions.
- Select Meta Verified. This page shows the renewal information for your subscription.
- Scroll to the bottom of the Meta Verified page and select Managed subscription.
- On the Managed subscription page, scroll to the bottom and select Cancel subscription.
- Choose a reason for canceling. You can also enter feedback if you want to, but the video shows that you can select a reason and continue.
- Select Continue to cancel, then select Submit feedback.
- Review the information about losing your verified badge, then select the continue option at the bottom to proceed with cancellation.
Do not accept an offer if you want to end the plan
Instagram may show an offer during the cancellation flow. The video mentions that this could be a free month or a discount. If you want to keep Meta Verified only with that offer, you can review it before making a choice.
If your goal is to stop renewal, keep selecting the option to continue canceling instead of choosing the offer. Follow the remaining confirmation screens until Instagram confirms that the Meta Verified subscription was canceled.
After the cancellation is complete, look for the confirmation pop-up. It states that your Meta Verified subscription was canceled and gives you the date when your benefits end. Save or note that date so you know how long your badge and other subscription benefits remain active.
What happens to your verified badge
The video explains that your verified badge disappears after your Meta Verified benefits end. Instagram also provides the end date during cancellation.
If you changed your profile picture to match the identification used for Meta Verified, you may need to wait until that date before changing it again. The video notes that trying to update the picture earlier can remove the badge. If Instagram does not let you make the change yet, wait until the benefits end date shown in the cancellation confirmation.
Check that cancellation went through
The important confirmation is the message stating that the subscription was canceled, along with the date your benefits end. Reaching the feedback screen or viewing a discount offer does not by itself mean the subscription is canceled.
Complete each confirmation screen, including the final continue option after the badge notice. Once you see the cancellation confirmation, the subscription will not renew according to the flow shown in the video. Your Meta Verified status stays active until the end date Instagram provides.
For a Fox One subscription, use the cancellation options associated with the account or service where you purchased Fox One. The Instagram Accounts Center path in this tutorial is specifically for Meta Verified and is not a Fox One cancellation method.
