About Accounts Center
Your Accounts Center
is a place where you can manage connected experiences (like logging in across your accounts) for your Facebook, Instagram and Meta accounts.
You can add Facebook, Instagram and Meta accounts to the same Accounts Center.
After you add accounts to the same Accounts Center, we’ll use information across those accounts to provide a more personalized experience like personalized ads and suggesting accounts to follow across Meta technologies like Facebook, Instagram and Meta Horizon
.
What happens when you add your accounts to the same Accounts Center
What happens when you add your accounts to the same Accounts Center
After your accounts are added to the same Accounts Center, you can manage different connected experiences like:
Sharing posts, stories or
reels
across your Instagram and Facebook profiles.
To share from your Horizon profile, go to Meta Horizon Worlds
.
You can comment on Instagram reels recommended to you on Facebook with an Instagram account you’ve added to the same Accounts Center. You can change the Instagram account used for commenting by selecting a different Instagram account to share to.
Logging in with your Facebook, Instagram or Meta accounts.
When you enable logging in with accounts
, you’ll be able to use login information from one account to log into other accounts you have across Meta apps, as long as these accounts are added to the same Accounts Center.
For example, when you download Instagram on a new device and you’re already logged into Facebook, you can use your Facebook login info to log into Instagram.
Enabling logging in with accounts will also let you use Messenger on Meta Horizon, if your Facebook account is added to the same Accounts Center as your Meta account.
You can choose to disable logging in with accounts anytime in Accounts Center, and maintain separate login info for different accounts.
Syncing your name, profile picture, username and/or avatar across Facebook, Instagram and/or Meta Horizon
. To sync your profile picture, username or avatar, you also have to sync your name. This means that:
When you sync your name, your name will become the same across all of the profiles you’ve chosen to sync.
People will be able to see and search for you with this name and username on Facebook, Instagram and Meta Horizon.
People may also see suggestions (like to add you as a friend or to follow you) associated with this name, username, avatar and profile picture across Facebook, Instagram and Meta Horizon.
If you sync profile information across Facebook, Instagram or Meta Horizon, changes you make to your profile information (such as your name, username, profile picture and avatar) will appear across all of your profiles with synced info.
If you remove an account from an Accounts Center, your profile info for profiles in that account will no longer sync.
Note:
You can’t sync profile information from a Facebook, Instagram or Meta Horizon profile to another profile on the same product (for example, you can’t sync two Instagram profiles, or two Facebook profiles).
