Manage connected experiences across your accounts in an Accounts Center

Updated:6 weeks ago

WhatsApp and Threads in Accounts Center are not available everywhere. Not all connected experiences are available for WhatsApp and Threads at this time.

Starting early 2026, the connected experience, Logging in with accounts, will no longer be available, and all accounts will be able to log into each other by default. This means you’ll be able to use any account to log into other accounts in the same Accounts Center.

Due to this update, some Facebook and Instagram accounts will be moved into different Accounts Centers unless Logging in with accounts is enabled for all accounts in the same Accounts Center.

For some Meta accounts, we’ll automatically allow all accounts to log into each other.

To keep your accounts in the same Accounts Center:

  1. Go to Accounts Center
  2. Navigate to Connected experiences > Logging in with accounts
  3. Select Allow all accounts to log into each other

If you want to disable login access for an account, you can move that account out of your Accounts Center.

If you want to enable login access for an account, you can add that account to your Accounts Center.

Note: Accounts can only access connected experiences, including Logging in with accounts, if they’re in the same Accounts Center.

When you add accounts to the same Accounts Center, you enable connected experiences across these accounts. You can also manage certain settings across your accounts in an Accounts Center.
