Merge Facebook Accounts
While Facebook does not use a means to auto-merge all your friends, pictures, condition updates, check-ins or various other information, you can by hand merge parts of your accounts. All it takes is a little preparation as well as perseverance. However, you will not be able to migrate or re-create every one of your Data.
How To Merge Facebook Accounts
Bulk Download Data
As a very first step I advise to bulk download your Facebook Data, a procedure I have explained formerly. This procedure could take some time and also the archive will serve as a very little back-up, should you decide to shut off or erase your account. It won't be of excellent aid in restoring any type of Data, though.
Briefly, most likely to your General Account Settings and also click Download a copy of your Facebook Data near the bottom.
This will lead you to a web page where you can download your information and get a duplicate of exactly what you have shared on Facebook.
Now do start your archive on this initial page. In addition find where it claims You can likewise Download an increased archive ... and click the respective link. This will direct you to the Expanded Archive Download page where you will certainly be asked to re-enter your password.
Now right here is where you will require perseverance. Depending on how large your main and also your increased archive are as well as how many various other archives are in the queue, this could take a while. As well as with that I suggest a couple of hrs.
Keep in mind that you should Download both archives, to obtain a complete back-up of your account!
When your archive is readily available for download, this is what the web page will certainly resemble.
Although your very own pictures are meant to be consisted of in the archive, you must download your Facebook Photos individually. Not just is this treatment one more backup, it is additionally a lot faster and also could supply you with even more options.
Restore Friends
As discussed over, you will not be able to Restore or move every one of your Data and that includes your friends. You have to manually add friends to your brand-new account. Unfortunately, it is not feasible export your Facebook friends to a third party account and then re-import them to a brand-new Facebook account.
Nonetheless, you can import get in touches with from third party accounts such as Skype or Gmail. So if you have call details of a lot of your friends on accounts beyond Facebook, you can take a little shortcut. Go to your brand-new Facebook account and import calls from any supported 3rd party account (CSV files are likewise sustained) through 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. As well as get in touches with imported from Facebook will absolutely not be consisted of in a Yahoo! CSV file.
I composed a different article on how you can support your Facebook contacts. Keep in mind that only call info of friends that have actually accepted have their e-mail address consisted of in information downloads can be imported into your Yahoo! account.
Restore Account Data
Below comes the huge letdown. There is no chance to submit or otherwise import your archive to Restore or move Data from your old Facebook account to your brand-new one. Whatever you intend to Restore, you need to do it (semi-) by hand or use 3rd party tools. Today, the archive simply works as a personal backup, absolutely nothing more.
So what are your alternatives? You could re-add your old friends as shown above, re-upload images you downloaded and install from your old account, re-tag your friends in your images, re-join teams you belonged to, re-add Facebook apps, manually re-do all your personal Settings, consisting of basic account and also personal privacy Settings, e.g. safeguard your Facebook account, include trusted get in touches with, or hide your personal Settings. I desire I had good news, however as I said before, you can not auto-merge two accounts or Restore Data, so you basically go back to square one.
What You Will certainly Shed
You will lose a whole lot! Your whole Timeline and News Feed history will be gone, including blog posts or photos you were marked in, locations you checked into, all the Sorts you issued or got, or teams you were a member of, all your account as well as privacy Settings, and also other documents you collected over time. Your photos and also friends are truly all you can take with you, every little thing else has to be re-created manually.
Deactivate or Shut Your Old Facebook Account.
If you determine to shut down or shut your old Facebook account, be sure to include your brand-new account as an admin to any type of Teams or Pages you take care of. Or else you will lose accessibility to them.
As soon as you have actually cared for admin functions, have actually 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 intend to close, as well as visit the Delete My Account page to begin the process. We have actually formerly described The best ways to Properly Close Your Facebook Account.
Verdict
Facebook enables you to Download an archive of your account. However, there is no coordinating system in place to restore your Data, needs to the account get endangered. Facebook never intended to supply a bring back feature; rather they were legitimately compelled to offer a method for individuals to download their Data. Because of this, customers are entrusted to nothing but half-baked remedies or uncomfortable workarounds, need to they desire to merge or move accounts.
What would trouble you most if you had to move to a new Facebook account?
