Merge Facebook Accounts
While Facebook does not use a method to auto-merge all your friends, pictures, standing updates, check-ins or other information, you could manually merge parts of your accounts. All it takes is a little preparation as well as persistence. Sadly, you will not be able to migrate or re-create all your Data.
Merge Facebook Accounts
Mass Download Data
As a very first step I suggest to mass download your Facebook Data, a procedure I have actually defined formerly. This treatment can spend some time and also the archive will certainly serve as a minimal back-up, must you decide to deactivate or erase your account. It won't be of wonderful assistance in bring back any Data, however.
Briefly, go to your General Account Settings and click Download a copy of your Facebook Data at the bottom.
This will certainly lead you to a web page where you can download your info as well as get a duplicate of just what you have actually shared on Facebook.
Currently do begin your archive on this first page. On top of that locate where it says You can likewise Download an expanded archive ... and click the particular web link. This will lead you to the Expanded Archive Download web page where you will certainly be asked to re-enter your password.
Now right here is where you will need perseverance. Relying on exactly how huge your primary and your broadened archive are as well as the number of other archives are in the line up, this can spend some time. As well as with that I indicate a couple of hours.
Keep in mind that you should Download both archives, to receive a full backup of your account!
When your archive is available for download, this is exactly what the web page will certainly resemble.
Although your own photos are intended to be included in the archive, you should download your Facebook Photos separately. Not only is this treatment one more back-up, it is additionally a great deal faster and also could give you with more choices.
Restore Friends
As stated above, you will not have the ability to Restore or migrate all your Data which includes your friends. You have to manually include friends to your new account. However, it is not possible export your Facebook friends to a 3rd party account and then re-import them to a new Facebook account.
However, you can import contacts from third party accounts such as Skype or Gmail. So if you have get in touch with details of the majority of your friends on accounts outside of Facebook, you can take a little faster way. Go to your brand-new Facebook account and also import contacts from any type of sustained third party account (CSV documents are additionally sustained) via the Discover Friends web page.
While you can 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 definitely not be consisted of in a Yahoo! CSV file.
I created a different short article on ways to back up your Facebook contacts. Note that just get in touch with information of friends that have agreed to have their e-mail address consisted of in info downloads can be imported into your Yahoo! account.
Restore Account Data
Below comes the large letdown. There is no chance to publish or otherwise import your archive to Restore or transfer Data from your old Facebook account to your brand-new one. Whatever you intend to Restore, you need to do it (semi-) manually or use third party devices. Right now, the archive simply serves as a personal back-up, nothing more.
So what are your options? You could re-add your old friends as revealed above, re-upload pictures you downloaded and install from your old account, re-tag your friends in your photos, re-join teams you belonged to, re-add Facebook apps, manually re-do all your personal Settings, including basic account as well as privacy Settings, e.g. protect your Facebook account, add relied on contacts, or conceal your individual Settings. I desire I had great information, yet as I said before, you can not auto-merge two accounts or Restore Data, so you basically start from scratch.
What You Will certainly Shed
You will shed a lot! Your whole Timeline and News Feed history will be gone, consisting of posts or pictures you were identified in, places you checked into, all the Sorts you released or obtained, or teams you belonged to, all your account and privacy Settings, and any other documents you collected gradually. Your pictures and also friends are truly all you can take with you, everything else needs to be re-created manually.
Deactivate or Shut Your Old Facebook Account.
If you determine to deactivate or close your old Facebook account, make certain to include your brand-new account as an admin to any Teams or Pages you take care of. Or else you will shed accessibility to them.
When you have dealt with admin duties, have actually downloaded all your Data, and also are sure you want to completely eliminate your account, log right into the Facebook account you want to close, and visit the Delete My Account page to begin the procedure. We have actually previously clarified How To Properly Close Your Facebook Account.
Conclusion
Facebook permits you to Download an archive of your account. However, there is no matching system in position to recover your Data, ought to the account get endangered. Facebook never ever meant to offer a restore attribute; rather they were legitimately required to offer a means for users to download their Data. Consequently, customers are entrusted to nothing but half-baked remedies or awkward workarounds, should they prefer to merge or move accounts.
Just what would certainly bother you most if you had to transfer to a brand-new Facebook account?
