Can Meta AI personalize using both Facebook and Instagram accounts?

Definition: Yes. Meta says Meta AI can draw from a Facebook account and an Instagram account together when both accounts have been added to the same Accounts Center. The stated purpose is a more personalized experience, using information already shared on Meta products.

Key facts

• Meta’s April 2025 assistant app announcement says the assistant can use information from a profile and content that a person likes or engages with, then draw from both Facebook and Instagram when they share an Accounts Center. Meta’s announcement describes this as a stronger personalized experience.
• Meta’s October 2025 recommendations update says information, including Meta AI interactions, is used across Meta Company Products from accounts that a person chooses to add to the same Accounts Center. The update also gives WhatsApp as an example of an account that is outside this cross-account use when it has not been added.
• The two statements describe an account-linkage condition: the accounts must be in the same Accounts Center before Meta describes information as available across those accounts.

What does Accounts Center linkage do?

Accounts Center is the grouping condition in Meta’s description. The April 2025 assistant app announcement says Meta AI can draw from both Facebook and Instagram after those accounts are added to the same Accounts Center. The announcement places this statement alongside information a person has already chosen to share on Meta products, including a profile and content they like or engage with. It also says the assistant can remember details that a person tells it, such as a love of travel or learning new languages.

The result described by Meta is personalization of the assistant’s answers. The same announcement says personalized responses were available in the United States and Canada at publication, so that availability statement belongs to the product announcement’s date and market scope.

Which Meta AI activity can cross accounts?

Meta’s October 2025 recommendations update adds a separate description of information use across Meta Company Products. It says Meta uses information, including interactions with Meta AI, from accounts chosen for the same Accounts Center. The article says this information can be used to personalize content and ad recommendations, including posts and reels.

Meta gives a concrete example: a conversation about hiking may signal an interest in hiking, alongside a hiking-related reel or Page like. The article says that signal could affect recommendations for hiking groups, posts from friends about trails, or ads for hiking boots. It also says that conversations about religious views, sexual orientation, political views, health, racial or ethnic origin, philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership are not used to show ads.

When did Meta describe this cross-account use?

Meta’s assistant app announcement is dated April 29, 2025. Its statement concerns drawing from Facebook and Instagram for a more personalized assistant experience. Meta’s later recommendations article is dated October 1, 2025 and says the described changes to content and ad recommendations would take effect on December 16, 2025, with rollout in most regions.

The two announcements document intended use and timing. They do not give a universal menu path for adding accounts to Accounts Center or a complete country list for every personalized response feature.

FAQ

Does linking Facebook and Instagram make Meta AI use every activity from both accounts?

Meta describes drawing on information already chosen to be shared on Meta products, such as a profile and content a person likes or engages with. It does not publish a complete field-by-field list in the assistant app announcement.

Is Accounts Center linkage also relevant to recommendations?

Yes. Meta’s recommendations update says information, including Meta AI interactions, is used across Meta Company Products from accounts added to the same Accounts Center, and connects that use with content and ad recommendations.

Does Meta AI use an unlinked WhatsApp account in the same way?

Meta’s October 2025 article gives the opposite example: when a WhatsApp account has not been added to an Accounts Center, Meta AI interactions on WhatsApp are not used to personalize experiences across different accounts on Meta Company Products.
