Meta has decided to put users’ Messenger, Facebook, and Instagram settings in one place. The company will roll out an Account Center, allowing users to manage their preferences across all their accounts on the Meta network from a central hub.
Instagram, Facebook, and Messengers will find the refurbished Accounts Center in the settings menu. Accordingly, you can make adjustments to your Facebook account settings from Instagram. Meta gives this facility for Meta’s standalone accounts that it started to allow Quest owners to use instead of a Facebook account in 2022.
Users can toggle settings, including personal information, security, passwords, security, payments, permissions, and ad preferences. While Meta might not put all users’ accounts in the Accounts Center, users will manually add them. Meta enables you to remove any accounts you have added at any time.
Users can benefit from the new centralized hub to adjust their advertisement settings throughout Messenger, Instagram, and Facebook.
Meta will keep these settings on each app. It indicates that you can retain numerous advertisement settings if you choose the Accounts Center distinctly for all apps. The company says if Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger users want to add another account with different ad settings to the Accounts Center, the company will adjust these settings to complement their accounts.
Adjustments through the Accounts Center
Meta has launched these changes today. It will progressively roll out to each user on Instagram, Facebook, and Messenger in the upcoming months. The company plans to make its applications look more connected after it rolled out the Accounts Center two years ago.
Although Meta initially used Accounts Center to merge login and payment information across Instagram and Facebook, it let users switch between social media accounts in 2022. The tech giant aims to centralize additional settings in the years ahead.
Settings Updates
Furthermore, Meta also plans to update some ad settings, but it has not revealed any details about the matter. It will bring Ad preferences to Account Center and improvise the ad settings control to help people understand and adjust their ads experience across Meta technologies.
First, the company has begun updating its Data about users’ activity from the Partners’ control. Known as Activity information, it helps people comprehend how Meta uses their activities directed from other online sites and apps to support the advertisement they see.
Meta also wants to make it easier for people to comprehend their options to see ads that it shows on other sites and apps. Lastly, the company knows people need more control over the advertisements they see. It has started exploring new options to allow people to see more ads about things of interest and non-interest.
The ad systems run by Meta work with less information gathered about every user. For instance, the Variance Reduction System is a part of the settlement about housing advertainments. These settings emphasize the data collected by others that Meta then receives. It could comprise the data users have provided to other apps, such as real estate or ovulation trackers.
