Meta Launches Centralized Data Privacy and Ad Targeting Controls for Facebook, IG and Messenger
Meta has announced a new update for its Accounts Center tool, which will make it much easier to manage your privacy settings across Facebook, Messenger and Instagram in one place.
The updated Accounts Center will include all of your info from all three apps – including personal details, passwords and security, and ad preferences – in a single place, which will better enable you to review and update your preferences without having to go to separate elements within each.
As per Meta:
“For example, you can now easily make your ad topic preferences consistent for Facebook and Instagram accounts by adding those accounts to the same Accounts Center.”
It’s a good way to help users manage their in-app experiences, and it makes a lot more sense to have all of this connected info in one space – though some may also see it as a risk, in that all of your combined info is listed in a single element.
