This feature enables you to log in to multiple Meta apps, such as Instagram and Facebook, with a single account. It is optional and initially disabled. The primary purpose of this feature is to streamline your use of various Meta apps.
If you frequently update your WhatsApp status and also use Instagram or Facebook, you can share your status across these platforms without posting separately, saving you time and effort while keeping you connected with friends.
With this account login feature, you can easily access WhatsApp and other Meta apps, especially when switching devices or logging out. Although optional, Meta plans to enhance this feature in the future to help manage your avatar and share AI stickers across apps.
