Facebook and Instagram users might get an easier time switching between their accounts. Meta wants to consolidate the apps under its accounts manager so you can toggle between the two apps and see your notifications in one place. It should also work if you handle multiple accounts.

According to Meta, the link will expire after 90 days of inactivity.
