If your Facebook account appears to have automatically followed President Donald Trump this week, you aren't the only one. Even so, Meta claims this isn't as sinister as it appears, and is in fact the result of routine operations.

Meta announced on Tuesday that users will soon be able to add their WhatsApp account to their Accounts Center, a hub where users can manage connected experiences across their Facebook, Instagram, and Meta Quest accounts.

It said follow and unfollow requests may take time as the accounts switch hands to the new Trump administration.
