Social media users in Europe will soon have the option to scroll Facebook and Instagram without seeing any advertisements — if they pay a monthly fee. Meta announced Monday that starting in November, users older than 18 in Europe can subscribe to an ad-free version of the platforms for 9.99 euros a month on desktop and 12.99 euros on iOS or Android devices. The company is launching the subscription as a way to comply with a ruling by the E.U.
“We believe in an ad-supported internet, which gives people access to personalised products and services regardless of their economic status,” it stated. “But we respect the spirit and purpose of these evolving European regulations, and are committed to complying with them.” For the first several months after its rollout, users who purchase an ad-free subscription will see it applied to all accounts linked in their Accounts Center, meaning switching profiles won’t disrupt the ad-free experience.
