Merge Facebook Accounts
While Facebook does not provide a method to auto-merge all your friends, pictures, standing updates, check-ins or various other details, you could manually merge parts of your accounts. All it takes is a little prep work as well as perseverance. Unfortunately, you won't be able to migrate or re-create all your Data.
How To Combine Two Facebook Accounts
Mass Download Data
As an initial step I suggest to bulk download your Facebook Data, a procedure I have actually explained previously. This treatment can take a while and also the archive will serve as a marginal back-up, ought to you decide to deactivate or remove your account. It won't be of fantastic help in restoring any Data, though.
Briefly, go to your General Account Settings as well as click Download a copy of your Facebook Data near the bottom.
This will certainly lead you to a page where you can download your information and also obtain a duplicate of just what you have actually shared on Facebook.
Currently do start your archive on this very first page. Furthermore locate where it says You can likewise Download an increased archive ... and click the respective link. This will certainly guide you to the Expanded Archive Download web page where you will certainly be asked to re-enter your password.
Currently below is where you will certainly need patience. Relying on exactly how huge your major as well as your broadened archive are as well as the amount of other archives are in the queue, this can take a while. And keeping that I imply a few hrs.
Keep in mind that you must Download both archives, to obtain a complete back-up of your account!
Once your archive is available for download, this is just what the page will certainly appear like.
Although your personal images are supposed to be included in the archive, you should download your Facebook Photos separately. Not just is this treatment one more back-up, it is additionally a great deal faster and also may supply you with more options.
Restore Friends
As mentioned over, you will not be able to Restore or move every one of your Data and that includes your friends. You have to by hand include friends to your brand-new account. Regrettably, it is not feasible export your Facebook friends to a third party account then re-import them to a brand-new Facebook account.
However, you can import get in touches with from 3rd party accounts such as Skype or Gmail. So if you have contact details of most of your friends on accounts outside of Facebook, you could take a tiny shortcut. Go to your new Facebook account and import calls from any sustained third party account (CSV files are additionally sustained) by means of the Find Friends page.
While you can export your Facebook contacts to Yahoo! Mail, it is not be possible to re-import them to Facebook. And also calls imported from Facebook will absolutely not be included in a Yahoo! CSV data.
I wrote a different short article on how to back up your Facebook calls. Note that only contact information of friends that have accepted have their email 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 publish or otherwise import your archive to Restore or transfer Data from your old Facebook account to your brand-new one. Whatever you want to Restore, you need to do it (semi-) manually or make use of third party tools. Now, the archive simply acts as an individual backup, absolutely nothing more.
So exactly what are your options? You can re-add your old friends as revealed above, re-upload pictures you downloaded from your old account, re-tag your friends in your images, re-join teams you were a member of, re-add Facebook apps, by hand re-do all your personal Settings, including general account as well as personal privacy Settings, e.g. safeguard your Facebook account, add trusted get in touches with, or hide your personal Settings. I want I had good news, yet as I stated before, you could not auto-merge two accounts or Restore Data, so you essentially start from scratch.
What You Will Lose
You will lose a great deal! Your whole Timeline and also News Feed background will be gone, including messages or photos you were tagged in, areas you looked into, all the Sorts you issued or received, or teams you belonged to, all your account and also privacy Settings, as well as other records you gathered over time. Your images as well as friends are truly all you could take with you, every little thing else needs to be re-created by hand.
Deactivate or Shut Your Old Facebook Account.
If you choose to deactivate or close your old Facebook account, be sure to add your new account as an admin to any kind of Teams or Pages you handle. Otherwise you will shed accessibility to them.
As soon as you have actually cared for admin functions, have downloaded all your Data, as well as make certain you want to entirely eliminate your account, log into the Facebook account you intend to close, and go to the Erase My Account page to kick off the procedure. We have formerly clarified The best ways to Properly Close Your Facebook Account.
Conclusion
Facebook enables you to Download an archive of your account. However, there is no coordinating system in place to restore your Data, must the account obtain compromised. Facebook never ever meant to provide a bring back function; rather they were legally compelled to provide a method for individuals to download their Data. Because of this, individuals are entrusted only half-baked options or unpleasant workarounds, must they desire to merge or move accounts.
What would trouble you most if you had to transfer to a brand-new Facebook account?
