JAKARTA - Facebook and Instagram are both owned by Meta, no doubt the company is now trying to integrate the two social media through a new profile switching tool.

Starting last Monday, Meta rolled out a new interface on Android, iOS and on the web for switching between accounts. It should be noted, this feature can work if the user has logged into the Facebook and Instagram accounts first to the same Account Center.

Users can use the feature to switch between two apps without navigating to their phone's home screen, multitasking menu or apps. This new interface will also show notifications from both social media in one place.

Quoting the official Meta page, Tuesday, September 27, at the same time, Meta is also introducing a redesigned login and orientation experience on Android and iOS.

If there are new users, they can create an account and then use it to create additional accounts.

However, for those who already have a Facebook or Instagram account, they can now use the login information associated with one app to access another, although they must first add it to the same Account Center.

In addition, Meta will also notify users whenever they use an existing account to create a new account or add an account to the Account Center.

The two-factor authentication security feature will also continue to work, preventing others from using Instagram login information to access users' Facebook accounts.
