[FAQ]

Hi everyone,

I’m very interested in using the Subscription feature for my Instagram account, you know, to offer exclusive content. I just want to make sure I know what’s needed to qualify for it, actually.

What are the specific requirements to use this feature now in 2025? Like, the follower count, how many is it? And what about age, or if my account needs to be a certain type? Also, is it available na here in our country, or only in some places?

Hope you can help, thanks so much!

To be eligible to use the Instagram Subscriptions feature, creators are required to meet several specific criteria established by Meta. These are in place to ensure the feature is available to established creators who comply with platform policies.

There are a few key requirements you must meet. First, you need to have a minimum number of followers. The current threshold for this is 10,000 followers.

Second, your account must be a Creator account. The Subscriptions feature is not available for standard personal profiles or for accounts set as a Business profile.

Third, you must be located in a country where the Subscriptions feature has been made available. While Instagram has been expanding the list of eligible regions, it is not yet globally accessible. The official list of countries can be found in Instagram’s help and support documentation.

Fourth, you must be at least 18 years of age.

And fifth, it is crucial that you comply with Instagram’s Partner Monetization Policies and Community Guidelines. This means your account must be in good standing and not have a history of significant violations.

You can typically check your specific eligibility status directly within the Instagram app. To do so, navigate to your profile and tap on the “Professional Dashboard,” then look for a “Subscriptions” or “Monetization” section. If you meet all the criteria, the option to set up the feature will generally be available there. If you are not yet eligible, it will often show you which requirements you still need to meet.

In summary, the main qualifying factors are reaching the 10,000 follower milestone, having a Creator account, residing in an eligible country, and maintaining a clean record that adheres to all of Instagram’s policies.

Cheers,

Jeff
