Meta aims to standardize the visual appearance of verified accounts across all platforms. The blue verification mark is intended to protect users from potential fake accounts and to facilitate secure interactions with verified businesses. A consistent visual identity will make it easier for users to recognize real accounts.
WhatsApp’s move is considered part of Meta’s strategy to make its digital platforms more integrated and user-friendly. With this change, users will see a verification system in WhatsApp that is similar to other social media platforms.
