Meta launches Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp subscriptions, with more to come, including AI plans

Meta has launched global paid subscription plans for its major platforms Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp, while introducing the 'Meta One' subscription brand. The company is also testing new AI, creator, and business-focused features as part of its broader subscription strategy. This represents a significant shift in Meta's business model beyond advertising.
