Instagram and Facebook launch ad-free paid subscription, but don't take out your wallet yet

India Today  

Since the very beginning Facebook and its founder Mark Zuckerberg have resisted offering any paid and ad-free subscription for services like Facebook and Instagram. Although, if the paid subscription plans prove to be popular in the EU and if Meta sees value in them, it is possible that similar paid Instagram subscription plans may come to India. "In November, we will be offering people who use Facebook or Instagram and reside in these regions the choice to continue using these personalised services for free with ads, or subscribe to stop seeing ads. Although the subscription seems quite steep — more so if you look at the figures in Indian rupees that would be Rs 880-Rs 1150 — given that this will let users enjoy Instagram and Facebook in an ad-free timeline, it does sound tempting.
