Threads and Instagram Work Together
Did you know Threads and Instagram are connected? If you have an Instagram account, you might have seen a notification telling you that Threads is ready to use. You can even open Threads from Instagram by going to your profile and tapping Settings.
Meta made it easy for Instagram’s 2 billion users to join Threads. Signing up takes less than 10 seconds.
Instagram users also get a special benefit—verification on Threads.
If you don’t have an Instagram account, you can’t get verified on Threads directly. But if you’re already verified on Instagram, your blue check automatically appears on Threads.
Not verified yet? You have two options:
- Subscribe to Meta Verified
- Apply for verification on Instagram
Threads and Instagram work together to keep things simple, especially when it comes to getting verified.
The Benefits of Meta Verified
Meta offers five main benefits to encourage users to subscribe to Meta Verified. Below are the key perks, but if you want my take on them, keep reading to ‘The Verdict’ section.
-
Verified Badge – The biggest attraction is the blue checkmark on your Facebook and Instagram profile. Meta says this helps your followers know your account is authentic and truly belongs to you.
-
Account Protection – Meta provides extra security with proactive impersonation monitoring, reducing the risk of fake accounts pretending to be you.
-
Better Account Support – Verified users get priority access to customer support, making it easier to resolve issues with their accounts.
-
Exclusive Stickers – Get access to unique stickers for Stories and Reels, helping your content stand out.
-
Early Access to Features – Meta Verified users get first access to new tools and features before they’re released to the public.
How to Get Verified on Threads Using Meta Verified
Meta Verified is a paid subscription for Instagram and Facebook users. By paying a monthly fee, you can get a blue checkmark on your profile—if you can confirm your identity.
Along with verification, you also get extra features like better account security and special posting tools.
The cost for Meta Verified on Instagram is $14.99 per month. If you want to get verified on Threads this way, follow these steps:
1. Open the Instagram app.
2. Tap your profile, then tap the three lines in the top right corner.
3. Select Meta Verified from the menu.
4. Tap Subscribe.
(If Meta Verified isn’t available in your location yet, tap Join the waitlist to get notified when it’s ready.)
5. Verify your identity with a government-issued ID and a selfie.
Once your identity is confirmed, you’ll get a blue checkmark on Instagram. After that, check your Threads account—your verification badge should appear automatically next to your username.
How to Get Verified on Threads by Applying on Instagram
If you don’t want to pay for Meta Verified, you can apply for verification on Instagram instead.
1. Open the Instagram app.
2. Tap your profile, then tap the three lines in the top right corner to open Settings.
3. Scroll down and tap Account Type and Tools.
4. Tap Request Verification.
5. Fill in the required information to confirm your identity, then tap Submit.
Instagram won’t approve verification instantly, and they might not approve it at all. Even if you provide all the correct details, your request may be denied if you’re not a well-known public figure. If that happens, you can try again after growing your account and gaining more followers.
Once your Instagram verification is approved, the blue checkmark will also appear on your Threads profile automatically.
Wrap-Up
Getting verified on Threads can help you stand out and build trust. Whether you choose Meta Verified or apply through Instagram, the key is to confirm your identity and follow the right steps.
If you’re not approved right away, don’t worry! Keep growing your profile and try again later. A blue checkmark is within reach—go get it!

- Subscribe to Meta Verified – This is a paid option that gives you a blue checkmark on both Instagram and Threads after verifying your identity.
Currently, Threads does not have an independent verification system, meaning you cannot apply directly within the app.

- A blue checkmark on your Instagram and Threads accounts
