Overview
- Meta announced an upgraded Meta Account that will replace Accounts Center in a gradual rollout over the next year, with users notified when their setup switches.
- People can opt for one password across apps and use passkeys for sign‑in, now extended to Instagram, alongside prompts for multi‑factor authentication and login alerts.
- Shared settings such as password, two‑factor authentication, and email move to one place, while app‑specific controls like who sees a post or who can tag you remain within each app.
- Linking stays optional, with WhatsApp kept separate by default and its messages and calls continuing to use end‑to‑end encryption.
- Parents get a unified Family Center inside Meta Account to manage supervised teen settings across Instagram, Facebook, Messenger, and Horizon from a single dashboard.
