In a bid to comply with the EU's Digital Markets Act, Meta (formerly known as Facebook) is introducing new changes that allow users to have more control over how their information is shared across its platforms. The changes, which will be effective from March, apply to users in the EU, European Economic Area, and Switzerland.
One significant change is that users of Facebook Messenger now have the option to continue using it with their Facebook accounts or create new, standalone Messenger accounts. Those who choose the latter will still be able to enjoy Messenger's core services like private messaging, chat, voice, and video calling.
