Meta Begins Global Rollout of Unified Support Hub for Facebook and Instagram

User complaints and legal challenges persist despite Meta touting AI-guided help to speed recovery, detect threats, add selfie video verification.

Overview

  • The in-app hub is now rolling out worldwide on iOS and Android for Facebook and Instagram.
  • Users can report problems, recover access, and get answers through AI-powered search plus a new chat assistant.
  • The AI assistant is in early testing for Facebook users only, with expansion to other Meta apps planned.
  • Recovery and security updates include optional selfie‑video verification, improved device recognition, risk alerts by SMS and email, and streamlined access to two‑factor authentication and passkeys.
  • Meta cites a decline of over 30% in account hacks globally and a 30% boost in hacked‑account recovery in the US and Canada, while many users still report mistaken disables and some pursue legal action.
