Merge Facebook Accounts
While Facebook does not provide a way to auto-merge all your friends, images, condition updates, check-ins or various other info, you can manually merge parts of your accounts. All it takes is a little prep work and also patience. Sadly, you won't be able to migrate or re-create every one of your Data.
How To Merge Two Facebook Accounts
Mass Download Data
As a primary step I suggest to mass download your Facebook Data, a procedure I have actually defined formerly. This treatment can take a while as well as the archive will function as a marginal backup, must you determine to shut down or delete your account. It will not be of terrific aid in bring back any Data, though.
Quickly, go to your General Account Settings and click Download a copy of your Facebook Data near the bottom.
This will certainly lead you to a page where you could download your info and also obtain a copy of what you have shared on Facebook.
Currently do begin your archive on this initial web page. In addition find where it claims You can likewise Download an increased archive ... and click the particular link. This will certainly assist you to the Expanded Archive Download web page where you will certainly be asked to re-enter your password.
Now below is where you will certainly need perseverance. Relying on how big your major and also your expanded archive are and also the amount of various other archives are in the line up, this could spend some time. And also with that I indicate a few hrs.
Note that you need to Download both archives, to obtain a full back-up of your account!
Once your archive is readily available for download, this is exactly what the page will look like.
Although your very own pictures are expected to be included in the archive, you need to download your Facebook Photos individually. Not only is this treatment another back-up, it is likewise a lot faster and might supply you with more options.
Restore Friends
As mentioned above, you won't be able to Restore or migrate all 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.
However, you can import calls from third party accounts such as Skype or Gmail. So if you have contact information of a lot of your friends on accounts beyond Facebook, you could take a small shortcut. Most likely to your new Facebook account as well as import calls from any type of supported 3rd party account (CSV documents are also sustained) via the Find Friends page.
While you can 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 consisted of in a Yahoo! CSV documents.
I wrote a different post on the best ways to back up your Facebook get in touches with. Keep in mind that just call details of friends that have consented to have their e-mail address included in info downloads can be imported 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 new one. Whatever you wish to Restore, you need to do it (semi-) by hand or utilize 3rd party tools. Now, the archive just acts as a personal backup, nothing more.
So just what are your choices? You can re-add your old friends as shown above, re-upload pictures you downloaded and install from your old account, re-tag your friends in your images, re-join groups you were a member of, re-add Facebook apps, manually re-do all your individual Settings, including general account and privacy Settings, e.g. secure your Facebook account, include relied on calls, or conceal your personal Settings. I wish I had great news, yet as I said in the past, you could not auto-merge two accounts or Restore Data, so you basically go back to square one.
What You Will certainly Lose
You will certainly shed a lot! Your entire Timeline and also News Feed history will certainly be gone, consisting of messages or images you were marked in, places you looked into, all the Likes you released or received, or groups you were a member of, all your account as well as privacy Settings, and other documents you collected gradually. Your photos and also friends are really all you can take with you, whatever else has to be re-created by hand.
Shut down or Shut Your Old Facebook Account.
If you decide to shut down or close your old Facebook account, make sure to include your new account as an admin to any Groups or Pages you handle. Or else you will certainly shed access to them.
When you have cared for admin functions, have actually downloaded all your Data, as well as make sure you wish to entirely remove your account, log right into the Facebook account you wish to shut, and also see the Remove My Account page to start the process. We have previously discussed How To Effectively Close Your Facebook Account.
Final thought
Facebook allows you to Download an archive of your account. Nevertheless, there is no coordinating system in place to recover your Data, needs to the account obtain compromised. Facebook never ever meant to supply a bring back attribute; instead they were legally required to use a way for individuals to download their Data. Because of this, customers are left with just half-baked remedies or unpleasant workarounds, should they prefer to merge or relocate accounts.
What would certainly trouble you most if you needed to transfer to a new Facebook account?
