Facebook and Instagram parent Meta is testing a way to closely integrate the two platforms together.

It's testing a new interface on Android, iOS and the web that allows users to switch between their Facebook and Instagram accounts, provided they have their credentials stored in the accounts center.
Another thing the company is testing is a way to quickly create new user accounts on both Facebook and Instagram.

They way it works is that new users only need to create a Facebook or Instagram account, and then use that to sign up for additional accounts.

Meta noted that, "existing security features will still apply," which means your two-factor authentication settings will still work, regardless of where you choose to log in.

For example - "if someone turns on two-factor authentication for their Facebook account, then an unrecognized device can’t log into their Facebook account with their Instagram login information."
