  • You will still retain any past analytics from your account, but will lose access to business analytics metrics, such as number of clicks on your link-in-bio.

  • You will still be responsible for any violations you received on your Business Account

  • In addition to the changes above, if you switch your account type when you are Verified, you will lose your verification badge and all verified Business Account features.
