- META will soon be a monthly subscription of £2.99 for UK users to access Facebook and Instagram without ads.
- The company said the program offers “clear choices” in data usage, although users may not have the option to choose “personalized” ads.
- The move follows similar steps from the EU after regulatory issues.
Facebook and Instagram users in the UK will soon pay a monthly fee to enjoy ad-free access.
According to the BBC, Meta, the parent company of the platform, said it will start notifying users in the coming weeks. While EU users pay €5 (£5) per month, UK users are expected to pay £2.99.
“This will provide clear choices for people in the UK whether their data is used for personalized advertising while retaining the free access and value created by the ad-supported internet for people, businesses and platforms,” he said. Meta said.
However, UK users may not choose to avoid payments and simply see “personalized” ads.
The move follows concerns raised by regulators. Meta introduced the feature earlier in the EU, and the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has also released this year’s ad-free subscription guide.

If she had been working in the warehouse like some of her partners in the UK, she would understand the value.”
