Meta has started prompting its Europe-based users for paid ad-free subscription plans for Instagram and Facebook.
Meta has been under scrutiny over its services in Europe. Hence, as a response to new EU privacy regulations, the platform is giving the option to use its services with targeted ads as a choice by users.
The choice to go ad-free comes at a cost of around $20 per month. The fee is €9.99 per month when purchased on the web or €12.99 per month if purchased through Google’s or Apple’s app stores. The subscription fee covers all linked accounts.

After March 1, subscribers will have to pay an extra fee for any additional linked profiles in their Meta Account Center. Users will pay a cost of €6 per month if purchased directly or €8 if purchased via an app store.
The ad-free service is only offered to users over the age of 18.
