Merge Facebook Accounts
While Facebook does not supply a way to auto-merge all your friends, photos, status updates, check-ins or various other information, you can manually merge parts of your accounts. All it takes is a little prep work and also perseverance. Unfortunately, you will not have the ability to migrate or re-create all of your Data.
Combine Two Facebook Accounts
Bulk Download Data
As an initial step I recommend to mass download your Facebook Data, a treatment I have actually described formerly. This procedure could take some time as well as the archive will work as a minimal back-up, should you determine to shut down or erase your account. It will not be of wonderful assistance in restoring any type of Data, however.
Quickly, most likely to your General Account Settings and also click Download a copy of your Facebook Data at the bottom.
This will lead you to a web page where you could download your info as well as get a duplicate of just what you have shared on Facebook.
Now do start your archive on this initial page. Additionally discover where it says You could likewise Download an expanded archive ... and also click the particular web link. This will certainly guide you to the Expanded Archive Download page where you will be asked to re-enter your password.
Currently here is where you will certainly need perseverance. Depending on exactly how big your primary and also your expanded archive are and also how many other archives are in the line up, this can take a while. And with that I indicate a number of hours.
Note that you must Download both archives, to get a complete backup of your account!
Once your archive is available for download, this is what the page will look like.
Although your own images are supposed to be included in the archive, you ought to download your Facebook Photos separately. Not just is this procedure one more back-up, it is likewise a lot faster and may supply you with even more alternatives.
Restore Friends
As stated over, you will not be able to Restore or move all of your Data and that includes your friends. You have to manually include friends to your new account. Regrettably, it is not feasible export your Facebook friends to a third party account and afterwards re-import them to a brand-new Facebook account.
Nonetheless, you can import contacts from 3rd party accounts such as Skype or Gmail. So if you have contact details of the majority of your friends on accounts beyond Facebook, you can take a tiny faster way. Go to your new Facebook account and import get in touches with from any sustained 3rd party account (CSV files are additionally supported) through the Locate 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. And calls imported from Facebook will absolutely not be included in a Yahoo! CSV data.
I wrote a different short article on ways to support your Facebook calls. Note that only call details of friends that have consented to have their e-mail address included in info downloads can be imported right into your Yahoo! account.
Restore Account Data
Below comes the large letdown. There is no other way to upload or otherwise import your archive to Restore or transfer Data from your old Facebook account to your brand-new one. Whatever you wish to Restore, you need to do it (semi-) manually or utilize third party tools. Today, the archive merely functions as a personal back-up, absolutely nothing more.
So what are your choices? You can re-add your old friends as shown over, re-upload images you downloaded from your old account, re-tag your friends in your pictures, 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. safeguard your Facebook account, add relied on calls, or conceal your individual Settings. I wish I had great news, yet as I claimed previously, you can not auto-merge two accounts or Restore Data, so you basically go back to square one.
What You Will Lose
You will shed a great deal! Your entire Timeline and Information Feed history will certainly be gone, consisting of posts or images you were labelled in, locations you checked into, all the Likes you released or obtained, or groups you were a member of, all your account as well as personal privacy Settings, and other records you collected with time. Your images and friends are really all you could take with you, whatever else has to be re-created by hand.
Shut off or Shut Your Old Facebook Account.
If you choose to shut down or shut your old Facebook account, make sure to add your brand-new account as an admin to any kind of Teams or Pages you take care of. Or else you will certainly lose accessibility to them.
As soon as you have actually looked after admin functions, have downloaded and install all your Data, and make sure you intend to completely eliminate your account, log right into the Facebook account you intend to close, as well as go to the Erase My Account web page to start the process. We have formerly discussed Ways to Appropriately Shut Your Facebook Account.
Conclusion
Facebook allows you to Download an archive of your account. Nevertheless, there is no matching system in position to restore your Data, should the account obtain endangered. Facebook never intended to give a bring back attribute; rather they were legitimately compelled to use a means for individuals to download their Data. Consequently, customers are entrusted only half-baked remedies or uncomfortable workarounds, should they desire to merge or move accounts.
Just what would certainly bother you most if you needed to relocate to a new Facebook account?
