Merge Facebook Accounts
While Facebook does not provide a way to auto-merge all your friends, pictures, condition updates, check-ins or other information, you can by hand merge parts of your accounts. All it takes is a little prep work and patience. Unfortunately, you won't have the ability to migrate or re-create every one of your Data.
Merge Two Facebook Accounts
Bulk Download Data
As a very first step I suggest to mass download your Facebook Data, a procedure I have defined formerly. This treatment could take a while and also the archive will serve as a marginal back-up, should you determine to deactivate or delete your account. It will not be of great help in restoring any Data, though.
Quickly, most likely to your General Account Settings as well as click Download a copy of your Facebook Data at the bottom.
This will lead you to a page where you could download your information and get a duplicate of what you have shared on Facebook.
Currently do start your archive on this initial page. On top of that locate where it claims You can also Download a broadened archive ... and also click the particular web link. This will certainly lead you to the Expanded Archive Download page where you will be asked to re-enter your password.
Currently right here is where you will require persistence. Relying on just how big your primary as well as your broadened archive are as well as how many other archives remain in the line up, this could take a while. And with that I indicate a number of hours.
Keep in mind that you should Download both archives, to obtain a complete backup of your account!
When your archive is offered for download, this is just what the web page will certainly appear like.
Although your personal photos are intended to be included in the archive, you must download your Facebook Photos independently. Not just is this treatment another back-up, it is additionally a whole lot faster and also could offer you with even more options.
Restore Friends
As mentioned above, you won't be able to Restore or migrate every one of your Data which includes your friends. You should by hand add friends to your brand-new account. Unfortunately, it is not possible export your Facebook friends to a third party account and then 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 a lot of your friends on accounts beyond Facebook, you could take a small faster way. Go to your new Facebook account as well as import get in touches with from any supported third party account (CSV documents are likewise sustained) by means of the Discover Friends web page.
While you could export your Facebook contacts to Yahoo! Mail, it is not be feasible to re-import them to Facebook. As well as get in touches with imported from Facebook will absolutely not be included in a Yahoo! CSV data.
I wrote a different article on the best ways to support your Facebook calls. Keep in mind that only contact details of friends that have accepted have their email address included in information downloads can be imported right into your Yahoo! account.
Restore Account Data
Below comes the huge disappointment. There is no other way to upload or otherwise import your archive to Restore or transfer Data from your old Facebook account to your new one. Whatever you want to Restore, you have to do it (semi-) by hand or make use of third party tools. Now, the archive just functions as a personal back-up, nothing more.
So what are your options? You could 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 teams you were a member of, re-add Facebook applications, by hand re-do all your individual Settings, including general account as well as personal privacy Settings, e.g. safeguard your Facebook account, add relied on get in touches with, or conceal your individual Settings. I wish I had excellent news, but as I stated in the past, you could not auto-merge 2 accounts or Restore Data, so you basically start from scratch.
What You Will Shed
You will certainly lose a whole lot! Your entire Timeline as well as News Feed history will be gone, consisting of blog posts or photos you were tagged in, areas you checked into, all the Likes you provided or got, or groups you belonged to, all your account and personal privacy Settings, and other records you collected over time. Your images and also friends are actually all you can take with you, whatever else needs to be re-created manually.
Shut down or Close Your Old Facebook Account.
If you decide to shut off or shut your old Facebook account, be sure to add your brand-new account as an admin to any Groups or Pages you manage. Otherwise you will lose accessibility to them.
As soon as you have actually dealt with admin duties, have actually downloaded and install all your Data, as well as are sure you intend to entirely eliminate your account, log into the Facebook account you intend to shut, as well as go to the Erase My Account web page to begin the process. We have actually formerly explained How To Properly Close Your Facebook Account.
Final thought
Facebook allows you to Download an archive of your account. Nonetheless, there is no matching system in place to recover your Data, needs to the account obtain compromised. Facebook never planned to supply a bring back function; instead they were legally forced to use a method for users to download their Data. Because of this, users are entrusted to nothing but half-baked options or unpleasant workarounds, ought to they desire to merge or relocate accounts.
Just what would trouble you most if you needed to relocate to a brand-new Facebook account?
