Merge Facebook Accounts
While Facebook does not offer a way to auto-merge all your friends, pictures, standing updates, check-ins or other information, you can manually merge parts of your accounts. All it takes is a little preparation and also persistence. However, you will not be able to move or re-create all your Data.
Combine Two Facebook Accounts
Mass Download Data
As a primary step I suggest to mass download your Facebook Data, a treatment I have actually defined previously. This treatment can spend some time and also the archive will act as a marginal back-up, need to you decide to shut down or remove your account. It won't be of terrific assistance in recovering any type of Data, however.
Quickly, 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 can download your details as well as get a copy of exactly what you have shared on Facebook.
Now do start your archive on this initial page. Furthermore locate where it states You can also Download an increased archive ... and click the corresponding web link. This will lead 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 upon just how huge your major and also your broadened archive are and also the amount of various other archives are in the line, this could take a while. As well as with that I suggest a few hours.
Note that you must Download both archives, to obtain a complete backup of your account!
Once your archive is offered for download, this is just what the web page will look like.
Although your personal pictures are supposed to be included in the archive, you ought to download your Facebook Photos independently. Not only is this procedure one more backup, it is likewise a great deal faster and also might offer you with more choices.
Restore Friends
As pointed out over, you won't be able to Restore or migrate all your Data and that includes your friends. You need to by hand include friends to your brand-new account. Unfortunately, it is not possible export your Facebook friends to a 3rd party account and after that 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 get in touch with information of a lot of your friends on accounts outside of Facebook, you could take a small shortcut. Most likely to your brand-new Facebook account and also import calls from any type of sustained 3rd party account (CSV documents are additionally sustained) using the Discover Friends page.
While you can export your Facebook calls to Yahoo! Mail, it is not be possible to re-import them to Facebook. And also contacts imported from Facebook will definitely not be consisted of in a Yahoo! CSV data.
I composed a separate article on how to back up your Facebook get in touches with. Note that just contact information of friends who have actually agreed to have their email address consisted of in details downloads can be imported right into your Yahoo! account.
Restore Account Data
Right here comes the huge disappointment. There is no other way to post or otherwise import your archive to Restore or transfer Data from your old Facebook account to your new one. Whatever you want to Restore, you have to do it (semi-) by hand or make use of third party tools. Right now, the archive just acts as a personal back-up, absolutely nothing even more.
So exactly what are your options? You could re-add your old friends as shown above, re-upload pictures you downloaded from your old account, re-tag your friends in your pictures, re-join groups you were a member of, re-add Facebook applications, by hand re-do all your personal Settings, including basic account and personal privacy Settings, e.g. safeguard your Facebook account, add trusted get in touches with, or conceal your individual Settings. I desire I had excellent information, yet as I said in the past, you can 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 whole Timeline and also News Feed history will be gone, consisting of messages or images you were labelled in, places you looked into, all the Likes you provided or obtained, or teams you belonged to, all your account and privacy Settings, and also other records you gathered over time. Your pictures as well as friends are really all you can take with you, everything else needs to be re-created by hand.
Shut down or Shut Your Old Facebook Account.
If you decide to shut down or shut your old Facebook account, make sure to include your brand-new account as an admin to any Groups or Pages you take care of. Otherwise you will certainly lose accessibility to them.
Once you have actually looked after admin duties, have downloaded all your Data, and make sure you want to entirely eliminate your account, log right into the Facebook account you intend to close, as well as check out the Remove My Account web page to kick off the process. We have actually previously discussed How you can Properly Close Your Facebook Account.
Conclusion
Facebook permits you to Download an archive of your account. Nonetheless, there is no coordinating system in place to restore your Data, ought to the account get endangered. Facebook never ever planned to offer a recover feature; rather they were legally required to supply a means for customers to download their Data. Consequently, individuals are entrusted to just half-baked services or unpleasant workarounds, need to they desire to merge or relocate accounts.
What would bother you most if you needed to relocate to a brand-new Facebook account?
