Protecting them is a responsibility we take seriously, which is why we\u2019re always working to strengthen account security and make it easier for you to get the help you need. We also recognize that support hasn\u2019t always met expectations, and we\u2019re committed to improving by continually investing in better support experiences for everyone who uses our apps.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Today, we\u2019re rolling out new, easier ways to get account support and sharing updates we\u2019ve made to keep your Facebook and Instagram accounts even more secure through advancements in AI.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>The Future of Always-On Support<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Getting help with your account should be simple and accessible. That\u2019s why we\u2019re launching a new, centralized hub on Facebook and Instagram that brings support tools and options into one place<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Within the support hub, you can now report an account issue, find quick answers with the help of Meta AI-powered search, and more. This is now rolling out globally on Facebook and Instagram, on iOS and Android operating systems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We\u2019re also testing an AI support assistant for instant, personalized help \u2014 whether you need to recover your account, update settings or manage your profile. This is new technology that we\u2019re testing first on Facebook globally, and we\u2019re exploring bringing it to our other apps in the future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>How AI Is Helping Us Protect Your Account<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Our AI-powered security systems are getting better at protecting your account thanks to smarter AI and stronger security tools. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the past year, new account hacks decreased by more than 30% globally on Facebook and Instagram.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Our account security systems work around the clock to spot and block potential threats \u2014 like hacking and phishing \u2014\u00a0 by analyzing a wide range of signals in real time to distinguish legitimate users from attackers. These systems also block suspicious logins and flag compromised accounts before harm occurs, so you stay protected and can access your account without worry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Over the last year, our advancements in AI have also helped us increasingly avoid disabling accounts by mistake better than ever before. And if an error does happen, our appeals process is now faster and easier, with fewer steps and AI assistance for eligible cases that helps you get a decision sooner. Our ongoing investments in our content enforcement systems mean they\u2019re now more accurate \u2014 so you\u2019re less likely to be affected by mistakes, and our community stays safer and more reliable for everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Faster, Simpler Account Recovery<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you lose access to your account, getting back in should be quick and stress-free. We\u2019ve updated the account recovery experience on Facebook and Instagram using AI so you can get help gaining access to your account.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What\u2019s new:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Easier-to-find recovery: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You\u2019ll now see the right recovery options at the right times, and we\u2019re sending out improved SMS and email alerts about risky activity.
