Merge Facebook Accounts
While Facebook does not use a method to auto-merge all your friends, photos, status updates, check-ins or other details, you can manually merge parts of your accounts. All it takes is a little prep work and perseverance. However, you will not have the ability to migrate or re-create every one of your Data.
Combine Facebook Accounts
Bulk Download Data
As an initial step I suggest to mass download your Facebook Data, a procedure I have explained previously. This treatment can take some time as well as the archive will certainly function as a marginal back-up, ought to you determine to shut down or delete your account. It will not be of excellent assistance in recovering any kind of Data, though.
Briefly, 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 web page where you could download your information and also get a copy of exactly what you have actually shared on Facebook.
Now do begin your archive on this very first page. Furthermore find where it says You could additionally Download an expanded archive ... and click the particular web link. This will assist you to the Expanded Archive Download web page where you will certainly be asked to re-enter your password.
Now here is where you will need perseverance. Depending upon how huge your main and your increased archive are as well as the amount of various other archives are in the queue, this could take some time. And keeping that I indicate a couple of hrs.
Keep in mind that you have to Download both archives, to receive a complete back-up of your account!
When your archive is offered for download, this is exactly what the page will certainly look like.
Although your own pictures are expected to be consisted of in the archive, you must download your Facebook Photos individually. Not just is this procedure one more backup, it is likewise a whole lot faster as well as could provide you with even more choices.
Restore Friends
As stated above, you won't have the ability to Restore or migrate all of your Data and that includes your friends. You have to manually add friends to your new account. Unfortunately, it is not possible export your Facebook friends to a 3rd party account and then re-import them to a brand-new Facebook account.
Nonetheless, you can import get in touches with from 3rd party accounts such as Skype or Gmail. So if you have call information of most of your friends on accounts beyond Facebook, you can take a small shortcut. Most likely to your new Facebook account and import calls from any kind of sustained 3rd party account (CSV documents are also sustained) using the Discover Friends page.
While you could export your Facebook get in touches with to Yahoo! Mail, it is not be possible to re-import them to Facebook. As well as contacts imported from Facebook will definitely not be included in a Yahoo! CSV data.
I wrote a different article on ways to back up your Facebook contacts. Note that just contact info of friends who have accepted have their e-mail address consisted of in information downloads can be imported right into your Yahoo! account.
Restore Account Data
Right here comes the huge letdown. There is no way to publish 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 have to do it (semi-) by hand or make use of third party tools. Today, the archive simply acts as an individual back-up, nothing more.
So what are your choices? You could re-add your old friends as shown over, re-upload pictures you downloaded and install from your old account, re-tag your friends in your pictures, re-join groups you were a member of, re-add Facebook applications, by hand re-do all your personal Settings, consisting of basic account and personal privacy Settings, e.g. protect your Facebook account, include trusted calls, or hide your individual Settings. I want I had good information, but as I claimed previously, you can not auto-merge 2 accounts or Restore Data, so you essentially start from scratch.
What You Will Shed
You will certainly lose a lot! Your entire Timeline and News Feed history will be gone, consisting of blog posts or photos you were marked in, locations you explored, all the Likes you released or received, or groups you belonged to, all your account and personal privacy Settings, as well as any other documents you built up gradually. Your images and friends are really all you could take with you, whatever else has to be re-created manually.
Shut off or Close Your Old Facebook Account.
If you choose to shut off or close your old Facebook account, make certain to include your new account as an admin to any type of Groups or Pages you handle. Otherwise you will shed access to them.
As soon as you have actually looked after admin roles, have actually downloaded all your Data, and also make sure you intend to totally remove your account, log into the Facebook account you want to shut, and also visit the Delete My Account web page to start the procedure. We have formerly explained The best ways to Appropriately Shut Your Facebook Account.
Verdict
Facebook enables you to Download an archive of your account. Nevertheless, there is no matching system in place to recover your Data, should the account get endangered. Facebook never intended to give a restore function; instead they were legally compelled to supply a means for individuals to download their Data. Consequently, individuals are left with only half-baked options or uncomfortable workarounds, ought to they want to merge or relocate accounts.
What would certainly trouble you most if you needed to transfer to a brand-new Facebook account?
