Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri had recently announced that they will soon start testing paid subscriptions for creators and influencers on the platform. Looks like users in India are also a part of this test. For the unversed, Instagram is planning to charge followers of certain influencers and creators for their exclusive content including photos, reels, videos and so on. Users who pay for the subscription will show a purple badge that will help creators recognise and interact with them accordingly.
