  • You can become a public figure on Instagram by changing your settings to list your profile as a professional or business account. 
  • Be aware, however, that this "public figure" status is somewhat controversial since it doesn't require the checks that actual verification does, so it's not necessarily reliable to onlookers as a sign that someone is a real public figure in the traditional sense.

On social media, verification can help signal to other users the difference between a fan account and a real public figure. The verification badge — the blue checkmark — on Instagram serves to confirm the account's authenticity and let followers know that it is in fact the real public figure that they want to follow.

But, verification isn't the only way to gain "public figure" status on the platform. However, before you jump on board with the alternative method, be aware that it is somewhat questionable from a public-facing standpoint, since there are no checks in place to have the "public figure" nomenclature added to your account.

With that in mind, here's how to become a public figure without verification on Instagram.
