Merge Facebook Accounts
While Facebook does not use a method to auto-merge all your friends, pictures, condition updates, check-ins or other information, you could by hand merge parts of your accounts. All it takes is a little preparation and persistence. Regrettably, you will not be able to move or re-create all of your Data.
How To Merge Two Facebook Accounts
Bulk Download Data
As an initial step I recommend to bulk download your Facebook Data, a treatment I have actually explained formerly. This treatment could take a while as well as the archive will certainly work as a minimal backup, must you determine to deactivate or delete your account. It won't be of excellent assistance in restoring any kind of Data, though.
Quickly, most likely to your General Account Settings and click Download a copy of your Facebook Data near the bottom.
This will certainly lead you to a web page where you can download your details and obtain a copy of what you have actually shared on Facebook.
Currently do start your archive on this very first page. In addition find where it says You can likewise Download an expanded archive ... as well as click the respective link. This will direct you to the Expanded Archive Download web page where you will certainly be asked to re-enter your password.
Currently here is where you will certainly require perseverance. Depending upon how huge your main and your broadened archive are and the number of various other archives remain in the line up, this can take a while. And keeping that I suggest a couple of hours.
Keep in mind that you should Download both archives, to receive a complete back-up of your account!
As soon as your archive is readily available for download, this is just what the web page will certainly appear like.
Although your personal images are expected to be consisted of in the archive, you ought to download your Facebook Photos individually. Not just is this treatment one more back-up, it is likewise a great deal faster as well as may provide you with more alternatives.
Restore Friends
As stated over, you will not have the ability to Restore or migrate every one of your Data which includes your friends. You should by hand add friends to your new account. Regrettably, it is not possible export your Facebook friends to a 3rd party account and afterwards re-import them to a new Facebook account.
However, you could import calls from third party accounts such as Skype or Gmail. So if you have call details of most of your friends on accounts beyond Facebook, you can take a tiny shortcut. Most likely to your brand-new Facebook account and also import calls from any kind of supported 3rd party account (CSV documents are additionally sustained) via the Discover Friends page.
While you could export your Facebook calls to Yahoo! Mail, it is not be possible to re-import them to Facebook. As well as get in touches with imported from Facebook will definitely not be included in a Yahoo! CSV documents.
I created a different post on ways to back up your Facebook get in touches with. Keep in mind that only contact details of friends that have agreed to have their e-mail address included in details downloads can be imported right into your Yahoo! account.
Restore Account Data
Here comes the big letdown. There is no chance 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 have to do it (semi-) manually or use 3rd party devices. Today, the archive simply works as a personal back-up, nothing more.
So exactly what are your options? You can re-add your old friends as shown above, re-upload images you downloaded from your old account, re-tag your friends in your photos, re-join groups you belonged to, re-add Facebook applications, manually re-do all your personal Settings, consisting of general account and privacy Settings, e.g. secure your Facebook account, add relied on get in touches with, or conceal your personal Settings. I desire I had good news, however as I said in the past, you could not auto-merge two accounts or Restore Data, so you essentially start from scratch.
What You Will Lose
You will lose a great deal! Your whole Timeline and also Information Feed background will be gone, including articles or photos you were tagged in, locations you checked into, all the Likes you provided or received, or groups you belonged to, all your account as well as privacy Settings, and any other records you gathered in time. Your photos as well as friends are truly all you can take with you, every little thing else has to be re-created by hand.
Shut down or Close Your Old Facebook Account.
If you make a decision to shut off or shut your old Facebook account, make sure to include your brand-new account as an admin to any kind of Groups or Pages you take care of. Or else you will certainly lose accessibility to them.
Once you have actually dealt with admin functions, have downloaded all your Data, as well as make certain you wish to entirely remove your account, log right into the Facebook account you intend to close, and also see the Remove My Account web page to begin the procedure. We have formerly described How To Correctly Shut Your Facebook Account.
Final thought
Facebook allows you to Download an archive of your account. Nevertheless, there is no coordinating system in position to recover your Data, should the account obtain jeopardized. Facebook never ever intended to supply a recover feature; instead they were legally compelled to use a means for customers to download their Data. Consequently, users are entrusted to only half-baked remedies or awkward workarounds, must they desire to merge or move accounts.
Just what would certainly trouble you most if you had to relocate to a brand-new Facebook account?
