Here’s How to Get Your Profile Verified ☑ on Instagram ☑

Instagram has today taken measures to further secure its billion user-strong platform, where it has finally decided to give you the opportunity to earn the iconic blue tick and get your profile verified.
Yes, you heard that right. The blue checkmark that had previously been super limited to public figures, brands, and other major profiles is now being opened to the masses. This means you’d no longer have to pester Instagram for that blue tick or head to the black market to buy one for yourself.
The image-sharing platform is now giving everyone a chance to prove their authenticity and apply for the verification process using a simple form.

Steps To Apply For Verification in Instagram

If you’ve been waiting for such an option for the longest time, follow the steps below to apply to get that shiny blue tick next to your name on Instagram:
1. Navigate to your profile, tap the 3 vertical lines at the top right to access ‘Settings’ and head over to the newly added ‘Request Verification’ option.


2. Now, you will need to enter your name and attach an identification document to send in your request for verification. Instagram states that it requires ‘government-issued photo ID that shows your name and date of birth‘ for the process. The details on your legal document need to match those in your account to successfully complete the same.
Note: You can either attach your driver’s license, passport or national ID card (which in India’s case could be the Aadhaar card). Instagram accepts official business documents such as utility bills, tax filings or article of incorporation for a brand.

Yeah, the process may look really simple and straightforward, but it doesn’t guarantee you the blue tick. Instagram, in its official blog post, says that it’ll review every request to see whether the profile is authentic and belongs to a “notable figure, celebrity, global brand or entity.”
Instagram has finally made the process for verifying profiles and doling out the blue ticks transparent, extending users like us the hope to bag that blue tick and be on the path to fame.
If you’ve applied for verification (or going to) then you’d receive a notification once your request is approved. If not, you will have to wait 30 days to re-apply for verification. The feature is already live on iOS but should make its way to Android in the coming days.
So, are you excited to finally be able to claim that blue tick and show off? Let us know in the comments below.

6 two-wheel vehicle riders die every single hour in India.

6 two-wheel vehicle riders die every single hour in India. That’s more than 50,000 people a year. Moving about is unavoidable. Public transport, though very vast, just isn’t enough. Cars are too expensive for the country’s price-sensitive population. Hence, two-wheelers. It is quite common for us to see families of 3 or 4 people riding on one 2-wheel vehicle. Needless to say, this is very unsafe. The lawmakers have tried. Certified helmets are mandatory. Only 2 people are legally allowed. But again, that has not been enough. In that light, another question to be asked is, why not make cars cheaper? An effort has been put towards that. Seeing a family of 4 on a bike get soaked in the rains, a certain automobile chairman decided to change things. Hey, have you tried Upstox? I've been trading with them and thought you’d love it too! Upstox is one of India's largest and fastest-growing investment platforms with over 60 lakh users. Recently they’ve introduced a new app, which is swi

Why You Can’t Withdraw the Rs 200 Note From an ATM Anytime Soon : Shaikh Inside

Why You Can’t Withdraw the Rs 200 Note From an ATM Anytime Soon : Shaikh Inside As of 4 January 2017, the Reserve Bank of India has ordered banks to recalibrate all 2.2 lakh ATMs across the country to ensure the dispensation of the new, yellow Rs 200 notes. Even though the new note was introduced in the market in August 2017, it remains somewhat of a novelty and  available only with banks  because of its size! Its dimensions (66 mm x 146 mm) are different from the existing currency in circulation, including the new Rs 500 and Rs 2000, due to which ATMs have to be recalibrated. After demonetisation in November 2016, banks went through a complete overhaul of all ATMs, having had to recalibrate the trays which hold and dispense notes inside the machine to fit the new dimensions of the Rs 500 and Rs 2000 note. This led to months of despair and disruption as people were unable to access their money easily and instead had to endure long lines in banks to withdraw the new n
