Facebook and Instagram are set to offer better integration as parent company Meta has announced that it is testing deeper integration across both platforms. The firm has revealed two updates which include a new user interface for the Accounts Center feature on the mobile and web platforms and a redesigned login and onboarding experience on its mobile app. The tests include two new features aimed at making it easier for users to switch between and create new accounts and profiles on Facebook and Instagram. The company is also testing allowing users to receive notifications for both Facebook and Instagram profiles in one place.
in its announcement blog, Meta revealed that the new interface is currently in testing and allows existing users who have combined their Instagram and Facebook credentials to be in the same Account Center, without navigating to their phone’s home screen, multitasking menu, or app drawer. To switch between the two apps. Meanwhile, a redesigned mobile login and onboarding experience is being tested that allows iOS and Android users to sign in with the same Instagram or Facebook credentials or create multiple accounts.
Meta also confirmed that existing security features will continue to apply to updates that include preventing unrecognized devices from using interoperating login credentials for Instagram and Facebook accounts, including two-factor authentication for any accounts. The feature is on.
Users will be notified of any account activity across Facebook and Instagram accounts on the Single Account Center section, including the creation of a new linked Facebook or Instagram account, according to the Company.
Meta says it is now testing the new user interface on iOS, Android and the web, while the login and onboarding workflow redesign is being tested on iOS and Android. The company says that both the features are being tested worldwide. The new features are “currently limited to Facebook and Instagram,” Meta said.
The updates come after the introduction of meta accounts in August of this year and the recently reported declines in both revenue and user growth for the US social-media giant.
