Merge Facebook Accounts
While Facebook does not provide a method to auto-merge all your friends, pictures, status updates, check-ins or other information, you could manually merge parts of your accounts. All it takes is a little prep work and also perseverance. Unfortunately, you will not be able to migrate or re-create all of your Data.
How To Merge Two Facebook Accounts Into One
Bulk Download Data
As a very first step I suggest to mass download your Facebook Data, a treatment I have explained formerly. This procedure could spend some time and also the archive will function as a marginal backup, should you choose to shut down or delete your account. It won't be of great help in restoring any Data, however.
Briefly, most likely 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 could download your details and get a copy of what you have shared on Facebook.
Currently do begin your archive on this first page. On top of that locate where it says You can also Download an expanded archive ... and also click the particular link. This will lead you to the Expanded Archive Download page where you will be asked to re-enter your password.
Now here is where you will need patience. Depending on exactly how huge your primary and your broadened archive are as well as how many various other archives remain in the queue, this can take a while. As well as with that said I imply a few hrs.
Note that you should Download both archives, to receive a complete backup of your account!
As soon as your archive is available for download, this is what the web page will certainly resemble.
Although your very own images are expected to be included in the archive, you must download your Facebook Photos independently. Not only is this procedure another backup, it is additionally a lot faster and may offer you with even more choices.
Restore Friends
As mentioned over, you won't be able to Restore or move all of your Data and that includes your friends. You need to by hand add friends to your brand-new account. Sadly, it is not feasible export your Facebook friends to a 3rd party account then 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 the majority of your friends on accounts outside of Facebook, you can take a little shortcut. Most likely to your new Facebook account as well as import contacts from any type of sustained 3rd party account (CSV files are also supported) using the Discover Friends page.
While you could export your Facebook get in touches with to Yahoo! Mail, it is not be feasible to re-import them to Facebook. And get in touches with imported from Facebook will certainly not be consisted of in a Yahoo! CSV documents.
I wrote a different post on how to back up your Facebook contacts. Keep in mind that only contact details of friends that have accepted have their e-mail address consisted of in details downloads can be imported right into your Yahoo! account.
Restore Account Data
Here comes the huge letdown. There is no way to publish 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 have to do it (semi-) by hand or utilize 3rd party devices. Now, the archive simply acts as an individual back-up, nothing more.
So exactly what are your options? You can re-add your old friends as revealed over, re-upload photos 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 basic account and personal privacy Settings, e.g. secure your Facebook account, include relied on contacts, or conceal your personal Settings. I desire I had great information, yet as I claimed before, you can not auto-merge two accounts or Restore Data, so you essentially start from scratch.
What You Will certainly Lose
You will certainly shed a whole lot! Your whole Timeline and also News Feed history will certainly be gone, consisting of articles or images you were labelled in, places you looked into, all the Sorts you released or obtained, or groups you belonged to, all your account and personal privacy Settings, as well as any other records you gathered gradually. Your photos and also friends are truly all you can take with you, whatever else has to be re-created manually.
Deactivate or Shut Your Old Facebook Account.
If you choose to deactivate or shut your old Facebook account, be sure to add your brand-new account as an admin to any type of Groups or Pages you take care of. Otherwise you will lose access to them.
When you have actually cared for admin roles, have downloaded all your Data, as well as are sure you intend to entirely eliminate your account, log right into the Facebook account you wish to shut, as well as see the Delete My Account page to begin the process. We have previously clarified Ways to Appropriately Close Your Facebook Account.
Final thought
Facebook permits you to Download an archive of your account. Nonetheless, there is no matching system in place to recover your Data, ought to the account get jeopardized. Facebook never ever meant to provide a restore attribute; instead they were lawfully forced to use a way for individuals to download their Data. Consequently, customers are entrusted to only half-baked options or awkward workarounds, ought to they want to merge or relocate accounts.
Exactly what would certainly bother you most if you had to move to a brand-new Facebook account?
