Meta Developer Verification Error – “Go to Accounts Center” – Where exactly?

Resolving the Meta Developer Verification Error: Navigating to “Accounts Center”

If you’re a developer working with Meta’s platform and encounter the error message:

“You can only complete this action in Accounts Center. Go to Accounts Center,”

you’re not alone. Many developers find this step confusing, especially when trying to verify their phone number within the Developer section of Meta’s platform. This article aims to clarify where exactly you need to go within the Accounts Center to complete your verification process.

Understanding the Verification Requirement

Meta often requires developers to verify their contact information, such as phone numbers, to ensure account security and compliance. When submitting your phone number for verification, the platform may redirect you to the Accounts Center — a centralized hub for managing your account settings, linked accounts, and security verifications.

Locating the Accounts Center

To successfully complete the verification, follow these steps:

1. Log into Your Facebook Account:
   Start by signing into your Facebook account that is linked to your developer profile.

2. Access the Accounts Center:

3. On desktop, click the downward arrow in the top right corner of Facebook.
4. From the dropdown menu, select “Settings & Privacy”, then click on “Settings.”
5. In the left sidebar, locate and click “Accounts Center.”

Alternatively, you can directly navigate to the Accounts Center by visiting https://www.facebook.com/settings/center if logged in.

1. Navigate to the Contact Information Section:
   Inside the Accounts Center, locate the “Personal Information” tab, or a similar section dedicated to contact details.

2. Verify Your Phone Number:
   Find your registered phone number listed there. If your phone number appears but has not been verified, look for an option to verify or confirm the number.

3. Complete Verification:
   Follow the prompts provided to verify your phone number. This may involve receiving a code via SMS and entering it into the platform.

Additional Tips

• Consistency of Phone Number:
  Ensure you’re using the same phone number registered with your Facebook account. Mismatched details can cause verification issues.

• Browser Compatibility:
  If you experience difficulties, try accessing the Accounts Center through a different browser or incognito mode to rule out caching issues.

• Platform Updates:
  Keep in mind that Meta periodically updates its interface. If the steps
