Connected experiences across your accounts in an Accounts Centre
Updated:50 weeks ago
Some features aren't available in all countries at this time. WhatsApp in Accounts Centre is not available everywhere.
After your accounts have been added to the same Accounts Centre, you can manage different connected experiences, such as:
- Sharing posts, stories or reels across your Instagram and Facebook profiles, and/or sharing your WhatsApp Status to your Facebook or Instagram Stories.
- To share from your Horizon profile, go to Horizon Worlds.
- You can comment on Instagram reels recommended to you on Facebook with an Instagram account that you've added to the same Accounts Centre. You can change the Instagram account used for commenting by selecting a different Instagram account to share to.
- You can create a status on WhatsApp and automatically share it to your Facebook or Instagram Stories. Status updates that you choose to share to Facebook and/or Instagram will use the existing story privacy settings that you've chosen on Facebook or Instagram. Note: You can't share your Facebook or Instagram Stories to your WhatsApp Status. WhatsApp in Accounts Centre isn't available for everyone yet.
- 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 in to other accounts you have across Meta apps, as long as these accounts are added to the same Accounts Centre.
- For example, when you download Instagram on a new device and you're already logged in to Facebook, you can use your Facebook login info to log in to 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 Centre as your Meta account.
- You can choose to disable logging in with accounts at any time in Accounts Centre, and maintain separate login info for different accounts.
- When you enable logging in with accounts, you'll be able to use login information from one account to log in to other accounts you have across Meta apps, as long as these accounts are added to the same Accounts Centre.
- Syncing your name, profile picture, username and/or avatar across Facebook, Instagram and/or Meta Horizon profiles. 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 (e.g. 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 your Facebook, Instagram or Meta Horizon profiles, changes that 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 Centre, 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 (e.g. you can't sync two Instagram profiles, or two Facebook profiles).
- Syncing your shopping activity across accounts. When your shopping activity is synced across Facebook and Instagram, you'll have access to features like:
- Your wishlist will be visible to you on Facebook and Instagram. You'll be able to add and see items in your wishlist from all connected accounts.
- Your recently viewed items will be visible to you across your accounts.
