Merge Facebook Accounts
While Facebook does not provide a way to auto-merge all your friends, images, condition updates, check-ins or other details, you can manually merge parts of your accounts. All it takes is a little prep work and patience. However, you will not have the ability to migrate or re-create every one of your Data.
How To Combine Two Facebook Accounts
Bulk Download Data
As a primary step I advise to bulk download your Facebook Data, a procedure I have described previously. This procedure could take a while and also the archive will certainly serve as a marginal backup, ought to you determine to deactivate or erase your account. It will not be of wonderful aid in recovering any Data, however.
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 and obtain a duplicate of what you have actually shared on Facebook.
Currently do begin your archive on this very first web page. In addition find where it says You can also Download an expanded archive ... as well as click the corresponding link. This will 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 patience. Depending upon exactly how large your main as well as your broadened archive are and the number of various other archives are in the line up, this could take some time. As well as with that said I suggest a couple of hrs.
Keep in mind that you must Download both archives, to get a complete back-up of your account!
Once your archive is offered for download, this is what the page will look like.
Although your personal photos are meant to be consisted of in the archive, you need to download your Facebook Photos separately. Not just is this procedure another back-up, it is likewise a lot faster and could provide you with even more alternatives.
Restore Friends
As stated above, you won't have the ability to Restore or migrate every one of your Data and that includes your friends. You should manually include friends to your new account. Sadly, it is not feasible export your Facebook friends to a third party account and then re-import them to a new Facebook account.
Nevertheless, you could import get in touches with from third party accounts such as Skype or Gmail. So if you have call information of the majority of your friends on accounts outside of Facebook, you can take a tiny faster way. Go to your brand-new Facebook account and import contacts from any sustained 3rd party account (CSV data are likewise supported) using the Locate Friends page.
While you could export your Facebook calls to Yahoo! Mail, it is not be possible to re-import them to Facebook. And also get in touches with imported from Facebook will definitely not be included in a Yahoo! CSV documents.
I composed a different write-up on ways to support your Facebook calls. Note that just call info of friends that have actually agreed to have their email address included in details downloads can be imported right into your Yahoo! account.
Restore Account Data
Right here comes the big letdown. There is no chance to publish or otherwise import your archive to Restore or transfer Data from your old Facebook account to your new one. Whatever you wish to Restore, you have to do it (semi-) manually or make use of third party tools. Right now, the archive simply functions as an individual back-up, absolutely nothing even more.
So what are your options? You can re-add your old friends as revealed above, re-upload photos you downloaded and install from your old account, re-tag your friends in your photos, re-join groups you were a member of, re-add Facebook applications, manually re-do all your individual Settings, consisting of basic account and personal privacy Settings, e.g. safeguard your Facebook account, include trusted calls, or conceal your individual Settings. I want I had great news, yet as I said before, you could not auto-merge 2 accounts or Restore Data, so you basically go back to square one.
What You Will Shed
You will shed a lot! Your whole Timeline and News Feed background will certainly be gone, including articles or photos you were labelled in, areas you checked into, all the Sorts you issued or received, or groups you belonged to, all your account and privacy Settings, and also other records you accumulated with time. Your images and friends are truly all you can take with you, whatever else needs to be re-created manually.
Shut down or Close Your Old Facebook Account.
If you make a decision to shut off or close your old Facebook account, make sure to add your brand-new account as an admin to any Teams or Pages you handle. Otherwise you will certainly lose access to them.
Once you have actually taken care of admin functions, have downloaded and install all your Data, as well as make certain you want to entirely eliminate your account, log right into the Facebook account you wish to shut, as well as visit the Erase My Account page to begin the process. We have actually previously explained How To Correctly Shut Your Facebook Account.
Final thought
Facebook enables you to Download an archive of your account. However, there is no coordinating system in place to restore your Data, ought to the account obtain endangered. Facebook never ever intended to offer a recover function; instead they were lawfully forced to offer a method for individuals to download their Data. Therefore, individuals are entrusted just half-baked remedies or unpleasant workarounds, must they want to merge or move accounts.
Exactly what would trouble you most if you needed to relocate to a brand-new Facebook account?
