Building on efforts to make its account management tools easier, Meta today is unveiling an update to its Accounts Center management platform that will bring more of your Facebook and IG data options into this centralized control element.

Back in January, Meta rolled out an updated Accounts Center, which now integrates all your data control options for Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger into one interface.

It also now allows downloads of personal data, so you can easily view all the information Meta has on you in one place.

Meta says:

"Download Your Information and Access Your Information are now in the Accounts Center. This means you can download information from your Facebook and Instagram account simultaneously at one go. For instance, you may want to download photos uploaded on the different platforms-now you can, with one single click. Or you can still choose to download your information for Facebook and Instagram separately."

This will make it much easier for users to understand how they can access these choices, which probably few understand, as they have long been hidden deep within submenus of your app settings.

Meta is also expanding its "Activity Off-Meta Technologies" (formerly referred to as off-Facebook activity) and "Transfer Your Information" features. These features have been available only for Facebook, but you can now see the same for your activity on Instagram, too.
Now you will be able to more easily access the information Meta has collected about you from other sites and apps, to better understand and control how your information is used in each app.
"Transfer Your information" meanwhile, enables you to transfer all of your Instagram photos and videos to other services, "making it much easier to share and save memories".

No doubt how many IG users regard their uploads as precious memory, but you now have another control center - centralized one - through which you can access and download your photos off-platform, if you like to.

As already stated, Meta has been working toward making its centralized Accounts Center much more comprehensive as a tool for managing the settings and data of your Meta apps, while keeping the apps themselves more inter-connected. Which may, in turn, also help Meta in case it is ordered to split up its empire, as has been proposed in various antitrust proceedings. But really, the main benefit goes to the users, in providing a single home for controlling your cross-platform settings.

Starting today, the company is rolling out new updates to Meta's Account Center. Users can find their Accounts Center through the "Settings" menu on Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger.
