Recent updates to Instagram have been found to contain code that suggests it is working on a paid verification system similar to what currently exists on Twitter as a part of its Twitter Blue tier.

Twitter is set to relaunch its Blue subscription, which will now require people to verify their phone numbers before they can get a checkmark. Its CEO also confirmed plans to increase tweet limits.

It was recently discovered that Twitter is testing out a verification badge for users who have verified their phone numbers, and Twitter has now confirmed that it is testing this feature.

Meta has announced a bunch of changes for end-to-end encrypted communication on its Messenger platforms. Enhancements include notifications for screenshots of disappearing messages, GIFs, and more.
