Merge Facebook Accounts
While Facebook does not offer a way to auto-merge all your friends, images, standing updates, check-ins or other details, you could manually merge parts of your accounts. All it takes is a little preparation and also patience. Sadly, you will not have the ability to migrate or re-create every one of your Data.
How to Merge Two Facebook Accounts Into One
Mass Download Data
As a very first step I advise to mass download your Facebook Data, a procedure I have explained previously. This treatment can take a while as well as the archive will function as a minimal backup, must you choose to shut down or delete your account. It will not be of wonderful assistance in recovering any kind of Data, though.
Quickly, most likely to your General Account Settings and also click Download a copy of your Facebook Data near the bottom.
This will certainly lead you to a page where you could download your details as well as get a duplicate of exactly what you have shared on Facebook.
Now do start your archive on this very first web page. Additionally find where it states You could likewise Download an increased archive ... as well as click the particular link. This will certainly assist you to the Expanded Archive Download page where you will certainly be asked to re-enter your password.
Currently below is where you will need persistence. Depending upon exactly how large your major and your broadened archive are and also how many various other archives are in the queue, this could spend some time. As well as with that said I mean a few hrs.
Keep in mind that you must Download both archives, to get a complete backup of your account!
As soon as your archive is readily available for download, this is just what the page will appear like.
Although your very own photos are supposed to be consisted of in the archive, you must download your Facebook Photos individually. Not only is this procedure another back-up, it is also a whole lot faster and may supply you with even more options.
Restore Friends
As discussed above, you will not have the ability to Restore or move all of your Data and that includes your friends. You should manually include friends to your new account. Regrettably, it is not possible export your Facebook friends to a 3rd party account and after that re-import them to a new Facebook account.
Nevertheless, you could import calls from 3rd party accounts such as Skype or Gmail. So if you have get in touch with information of most of your friends on accounts beyond Facebook, you can take a small shortcut. Go to your new Facebook account and also import get in touches with from any type of supported 3rd party account (CSV documents are additionally supported) using the Locate Friends web page.
While you can export your Facebook calls to Yahoo! Mail, it is not be feasible to re-import them to Facebook. And also contacts imported from Facebook will certainly not be consisted of in a Yahoo! CSV file.
I created a separate article on ways to support your Facebook get in touches with. Keep in mind that only contact details of friends that have consented to have their e-mail address consisted of in information downloads can be imported into your Yahoo! account.
Restore Account Data
Right here comes the huge disappointment. There is no other way to submit or otherwise import your archive to Restore or move Data from your old Facebook account to your brand-new one. Whatever you intend to Restore, you need to do it (semi-) by hand or use third party devices. Now, the archive simply works as a personal back-up, absolutely nothing more.
So exactly what are your options? You can re-add your old friends as shown above, re-upload pictures you downloaded from your old account, re-tag your friends in your images, re-join groups you belonged to, re-add Facebook apps, by hand re-do all your personal Settings, consisting of basic account as well as personal privacy Settings, e.g. secure your Facebook account, add trusted contacts, or conceal your personal Settings. I desire I had good information, yet as I said previously, you could not auto-merge two accounts or Restore Data, so you essentially start from scratch.
What You Will Shed
You will certainly shed a whole lot! Your whole Timeline as well as Information Feed history will be gone, including messages or pictures you were labelled in, places you explored, all the Likes you released or got, or groups you belonged to, all your account and also personal privacy Settings, and other documents you gathered gradually. Your images and friends are truly all you can take with you, every little thing else has to be re-created manually.
Deactivate or Shut Your Old Facebook Account.
If you decide to shut off or shut your old Facebook account, make certain to include your new account as an admin to any type of Groups or Pages you take care of. Or else you will lose access to them.
When you have cared for admin roles, have downloaded all your Data, and also are sure you want to totally eliminate your account, log into the Facebook account you want to close, and go to the Remove My Account web page to start the procedure. We have formerly clarified How you can Effectively Close Your Facebook Account.
Verdict
Facebook permits you to Download an archive of your account. Nevertheless, there is no coordinating system in position to restore your Data, must the account obtain jeopardized. Facebook never intended to offer a recover feature; instead they were legally forced to offer a method for customers to download their Data. Therefore, individuals are entrusted to nothing but half-baked services or uncomfortable workarounds, need to they want to merge or relocate accounts.
Just what would trouble you most if you needed to relocate to a new Facebook account?
