Meta is updating its verification requirements for all advertisers targeting audiences in Singapore, in line with Singapore's OCHA Code of Practice. Starting early-April, most advertisers can begin the verification process, which must be completed by end-June 2025. Advertisers need to verify the beneficiary and payer of their ads, though those with an existing verified business portfolio may skip this step.
All ads targeting Singapore will include the name of the paying or benefiting individual/organization on the ad's infosheet and in the Ad Library. The rollout is expected to be available to most by early-May 2025. Advertisers are encouraged to complete verification promptly upon notification.

Adjust has expanded store detection and verification across multiple app storefronts, making Store Type the primary dimension for identifying where an install originated rather than relying on platform or OS alone. For ad ops teams, this means campaign performance can now be analyzed at the store level across Huawei AppGallery, Xiaomi GetApps, Samsung Galaxy Store, Vivo Appstore, and Google Play variants, with independent verification of install origin. Newly detected stores are flagged in AppView with a direct route to configuration, and store-level data flows automatically into reporting, raw data, callbacks, and CSV exports, plus Conversion Rules via Store Rule conditions.
