How to manage which accounts are in your Accounts Centre
If you aren't already logged in to the account that you want to add on your mobile device, we'll use the email address or phone number from the account you are logged in to to prefill that information for the account you want to add.
You'll need at least two accounts (this can be a combination of Facebook, Instagram, Meta and/or WhatsApp accounts, although it cannot be a combination of just a Meta and a WhatsApp account) to set up your Accounts Centre and to enable connected experiences.
Add account
To add accounts to an Accounts Centre on your phone, tablet or computer:
- Navigate to Accounts Centre.
- Tap or click Accounts or Manage accounts.
- If you don't have any accounts added to Accounts Centre, tap or click Add accounts and follow the on-screen instructions.
Move an account out of an Accounts Centre
To move accounts out of an Accounts Centre on your phone, tablet or computer:
- Navigate to Accounts Centre.
- Tap or click Accounts or Manage accounts.
- Tap or click Remove next to the account that you want to remove.
When you remove an account from an Accounts Centre, any profiles associated with that account will also be removed.
You can also learn how to keep your account secure to prevent it from being hacked, or recover your account on a Meta platform in the Account recovery and support hub.
Removing an Instagram AI account from an Accounts Centre
AI accounts are accounts that require connection to an Instagram account in order to work. You'll need to keep your AI account in the same Accounts Centre as the Instagram account that you used to create it. If you remove an AI account, we'll ask you if you'd like to delete that AI account. And if you remove your Instagram account (that created an AI account), we'll ask you if you want to delete your AI account.
If you want to move your Instagram account and your AI account into a different Accounts Centre to your other accounts, without causing your AI account to be deleted, log in to Facebook, WhatsApp or Meta and remove those account(s) from the Accounts Centre, instead.
For example, if you have a Facebook account, an Instagram account (with an AI account) and a WhatsApp account in the same Accounts Centre, and you'd like to keep your Instagram account (with an AI account) separate, you can remove your Facebook and WhatsApp accounts from that Accounts Centre. This will leave your Instagram account (with its AI account) separated in its own Accounts Centre. You can always add your Facebook and WhatsApp accounts to a different Accounts Centre if you'd like them to be connected.
Account suggestions we might make
When you set up your Accounts Centre, we may suggest an account for you to add. For example, if you've set up your Accounts Centre with your Instagram account on your mobile device, and you're logged in to your Facebook account on the same device, we may suggest that you add that Facebook account to your Accounts Centre.
Note: You can only add one Facebook account to your Accounts Centre. If you'd like to add a different Facebook account to your Accounts Centre, you'll need to remove your current Facebook account first. Then you can add a different Facebook account.
