# Meta Account: A Unified Hub to Manage Meta Apps and Devices
More people are using Meta technologies, from Threads to Meta AI and even AI-enabled glasses. With so many ways to create, learn, and connect, a centralized place to manage your experiences across apps is increasingly valuable. Today, Meta introduces an improved Meta Account, built on the former Accounts Center, designed to simplify how you access and control Meta apps and devices in one place.
## What to Expect
- Automatic migration: Your existing Accounts Center will evolve into Meta Account over the coming year. The switch will happen gradually, and you’ll be notified as it progresses.
- Automatic app and device inclusion: All technologies tied to Accounts Center will appear in your Meta Account. Your day-to-day use should feel familiar, with signing in and settings management streamlined.
- WhatsApp option: If WhatsApp was in Accounts Center, it will carry over to Meta Account and can still be removed anytime. If WhatsApp wasn’t added, it remains separate and continues to function as today. Your personal messages and calls stay end-to-end encrypted.
## Easy Login & Enhanced Security
Meta Account aims to simplify signing in across the apps and devices you use to stay connected with your communities.
- One password, fewer hassles: You can opt into a single password to access your apps and devices, reducing the need to juggle multiple credentials.
- Quick setup for new apps and devices: When you install a new Meta app or set up a new device, Meta Account helps you get started faster without creating a new login and profile from scratch.
- Stronger protections with less effort: Enhanced security features are built in to keep your information safe without extra steps.
Key security enhancements include:
- Passkeys for easier, safer logins: Passkeys provide a more secure alternative to traditional passwords and can use biometric methods or your device’s authentication. Passkeys will work with Instagram, in addition to Facebook and Messenger, with more apps coming soon. (WhatsApp passkeys are managed within WhatsApp.)
- 24/7 monitoring: Around-the-clock security systems help detect and stop suspicious activity to prevent unauthorized access.
- Personal Security Checkup: A streamlined Security Checkup helps you stay up to date on protections like multi-factor authentication and login alerts across Meta technologies.
## A Central Place for Settings That Matter to You
Meta Account is designed to consolidate settings that span Meta apps and devices, making them easier to manage in one place. Core settings—such as password, two-factor authentication, and the email address linked to your account—can be adjusted centrally, saving you from updating them separately across apps.
Per-app settings, however, remain inside each app. Things like who can see your posts on Facebook or whether someone can tag you in a photo on Instagram stay as Instagram or Facebook settings and won’t change with Meta Account.
For families, Meta Account simplifies teen supervision. You can oversee teens’ Instagram, Facebook, Messenger, and Meta Horizon settings from a single Family Center dashboard within your Meta Account. We’ll keep refining supervision tools to help busy families.
## Looking Ahead
Meta Account is designed to make your digital life easier and safer, with more features on the horizon as we continue to evolve. Learn more as updates roll out across apps and devices.
