Merge Facebook Accounts
While Facebook does not supply a means to auto-merge all your friends, photos, status updates, check-ins or other info, you can manually merge parts of your accounts. All it takes is a little prep work and also patience. Unfortunately, you won't be able to migrate or re-create every one of your Data.
How To Combine Facebook Accounts
Bulk Download Data
As a first step I advise to mass download your Facebook Data, a procedure I have actually described previously. This treatment can take some time as well as the archive will act as a minimal back-up, need to you determine to shut off or delete your account. It will not be of fantastic help in restoring any Data, though.
Briefly, most likely to your General Account Settings and click Download a copy of your Facebook Data at the bottom.
This will lead you to a page where you could download your details as well as get a copy of what you have shared on Facebook.
Now do start your archive on this first web page. In addition discover where it claims You can also Download an increased archive ... and click the particular link. This will certainly 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 persistence. Depending upon just how large your primary as well as your broadened archive are and also how many other archives remain in the line, this can spend some time. As well as with that I imply a few hrs.
Keep in mind that you have to Download both archives, to receive a full backup of your account!
When your archive is available for download, this is what the web page will appear like.
Although your personal photos are intended to be included in the archive, you ought to download your Facebook Photos separately. Not only is this procedure an additional back-up, it is also a whole lot faster and may offer you with more choices.
Restore Friends
As stated above, you won't be able to Restore or migrate all of your Data and that includes your friends. You have to manually include friends to your new account. However, it is not possible export your Facebook friends to a 3rd party account and afterwards re-import them to a brand-new Facebook account.
Nevertheless, you can import get in touches with from 3rd party accounts such as Skype or Gmail. So if you have call details of the majority of your friends on accounts beyond Facebook, you can take a little shortcut. Go to your brand-new Facebook account and also import calls from any kind of sustained 3rd party account (CSV data are also sustained) using the Discover Friends page.
While you can export your Facebook get in touches with to Yahoo! Mail, it is not be feasible to re-import them to Facebook. And also get in touches with imported from Facebook will absolutely not be included in a Yahoo! CSV data.
I created a different write-up on how to support your Facebook get in touches with. Keep in mind that just contact details of friends that have actually 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 big disappointment. There is no 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 have to do it (semi-) manually or make use of 3rd party tools. Today, the archive just acts as an individual back-up, nothing more.
So what are your alternatives? You can re-add your old friends as revealed above, re-upload images you downloaded and install from your old account, re-tag your friends in your images, re-join groups you belonged to, re-add Facebook applications, manually re-do all your personal Settings, consisting of basic account as well as privacy Settings, e.g. protect your Facebook account, include relied on calls, or conceal your individual Settings. I want I had excellent news, yet as I stated before, you could not auto-merge 2 accounts or Restore Data, so you essentially go back to square one.
What You Will certainly Shed
You will certainly lose a whole lot! Your entire Timeline and Information Feed background will be gone, consisting of messages or images you were tagged in, areas you checked into, all the Likes you provided or obtained, or teams you belonged to, all your account and privacy Settings, and also any other records you gathered gradually. Your images as well as friends are actually all you can take with you, everything else has to be re-created by hand.
Shut off or Shut Your Old Facebook Account.
If you make a decision to shut down or shut your old Facebook account, be sure to add your new account as an admin to any Teams or Pages you manage. Or else you will certainly lose access to them.
As soon as you have cared for admin functions, have downloaded all your Data, and make sure you wish to entirely remove your account, log into the Facebook account you intend to close, and visit the Remove My Account web page to kick off the process. We have formerly discussed How you can Properly Shut Your Facebook Account.
Conclusion
Facebook allows you to Download an archive of your account. Nonetheless, there is no coordinating system in place to recover your Data, must the account get endangered. Facebook never intended to give a bring back attribute; instead they were legally required to use a way for individuals to download their Data. As a result, users are left with only half-baked solutions or awkward workarounds, should they prefer to merge or move accounts.
Exactly what would certainly trouble you most if you needed to transfer to a brand-new Facebook account?
