Meta has long been the umbrella corporation under which lies massive tech and social networks like Facebook and Instagram. As these products have grown, however, are usage of them has often spilled out from a single account and into multiple accounts often with several on each app. If this situation sounds a bit like how you use the apps, you may be interested to learn that Meta is introducing a new feature that will allow you to switch between your profiles more easily. Here is what you need to know.

Meta has published a blog post explaining how it plans to make it easier than ever for users to switch between multiple Facebook and Instagram accounts. This will include access to notifications from across all the accounts in a single place.

The update will allow users to track multiple accounts and even create new ones from a centralized Accounts Center. As well as displaying your current Facebook and Instagram accounts, the Accounts Center will also have access to the full account sign-up process. This works for both old and new users of either Facebook or Instagram:

“People new to our products can create a Facebook or Instagram account, and then use that account to sign up for additional ones. And people who have both a Facebook and an Instagram account can now easily use login information from one app to access the other, as long as their accounts are in the same Accounts Center.”

This new feature is currently being tested around the globe on Facebook and Instagram on iOS, Android, and the web. This means that there are no concrete dates yet about when it will roll out to all users. We’ll try to keep you up to date with any updates on the feature as it advances further along the development path.

In other Meta news, the social giant has rolled out an impressive language translation AI model.
