Instagram is working on a subscription feature 

Instagram is working on a subscription feature. Instagram is planning to launch a subscription feature that would let creators profit from their work on the site. Instagram users may have to pay to access material, see Stories, or view media from their favorite creators now that creator subscriptions have arrived.

 As a result, an Instagram Subscriptions category has been added to the Apple App Store listing of the Meta-owned app (FKA Facebook) in India and the United States. In addition, the aforementioned category may be found in the In-App Purchases section.

The in-app subscriptions are priced at INR 89 (about $1.20) each month on the iOS App Store. TechCrunch first noticed the Instagram Subscriptions, which cost $0.99 (about INR 73) and $4.99 (around INR 360) in the United States. 

In addition, the Instagram Subscriptions feature is now available in India on the App Store. This means that the platform's official subscription model could be accessible in the coming days. Some Twitter users claim that the new in-app purchase option is now available in the United Kingdom as well.

Adam Mosseri, the CEO of Instagram, has previously stated that the firm intends to introduce subscriptions. Furthermore, according to Mosseri, the memberships would help commercialize the popular platform while also providing authors with a reliable option to earn money from their accounts. 

In case you missed it, Facebook recently announced its aim to reward creators with subscriptions to their content while avoiding Apple's payment mechanism. Details concerning the newly launched membership, as well as Instagram Badges, are available.

On November 1, the US App Store added the first Instagram Subscriptions in-app purchase. According to TechCrunch's story, it was also $4.99 at the time. Sensor Tower, an analytic firm, is quoted in the paper. Furthermore, the rumor claims that the in-app purchase will cost $0.99 after its November 3 launch.

 Some Twitter users have claimed that the new subscription options have arrived in the United Kingdom. Instagram, on the other hand, hasn't confirmed that these in-app purchases are available. Material creators and influencers on the app will be able to sell access to their exclusive content as part of this change.

Earlier this year, Twitter introduced a similar tool called Super Follows. Super Follows allow users to earn monthly cash by sharing subscriber-only content. In February, the social media behemoth unveiled its ambitions. They were released in September for iOS users in Canada and the United States. 

Creators can provide a $2.99 (about INR 220) monthly membership as part of the package. Other monthly membership options include $4.99 (about INR 360) and $9.99 (approximately INR 730).
