Meta is set to introduce premium subscriptions for Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp in the coming months, offering enhanced features like expanded artificial intelligence capabilities while keeping core services free. This move follows previous trials with paid services, including a verification service rolled out in 2023.

• The new offerings will include expanded AI capabilities and features for apps like Vibes video generation.
• Meta acquired Manus, a Chinese-founded AI firm, in December for a reported $2 billion to bolster its AI in subscription plans.
• Manus differentiates itself with a "truly autonomous" agent that can plan, execute, and complete tasks independently.
