To receive a fan badge, the user needs to pay a small fee, such as $0.99, $1.99, $4.99, etc.
This represents the tier of fan badges. The badge also shows how much the user has contributed to the Instagrammer’s account.
Here is the image that shows how the badges look like. Look at the hearts.
Earlier, the fan badges were available for a limited user base only.
Now, more than 50,000 additional Instagram creators can use fan badges in the live stream.
It is still a small number of Instagram users. It seems that the feature is available with popular creators.
To ensure that maximum creators will use fan badges, Instagram is not charging any fee or revenue share for fan badge purchases.
