Merge Facebook Accounts
While Facebook does not provide a method to auto-merge all your friends, photos, condition updates, check-ins or various other info, you can by hand merge parts of your accounts. All it takes is a little preparation as well as patience. However, you won't be able to migrate or re-create every one of your Data.
How to Merge Accounts On Facebook
Bulk Download Data
As an initial step I recommend to mass download your Facebook Data, a treatment I have explained formerly. This procedure could take some time as well as the archive will certainly serve as a marginal backup, ought to you choose to shut off or remove your account. It won't be of terrific aid in bring back any Data, however.
Quickly, most likely to your General Account Settings and also click Download a copy of your Facebook Data at the bottom.
This will lead you to a web page where you can download your details and also obtain a copy of just what you have actually shared on Facebook.
Currently do start your archive on this very first page. In addition discover where it says You could also Download an increased archive ... as well as click the particular web link. This will direct you to the Expanded Archive Download web page where you will certainly be asked to re-enter your password.
Now below is where you will certainly require patience. Depending upon exactly how big your primary and your increased archive are and the amount of various other archives are in the line, this can take some time. As well as with that I mean a number of hrs.
Note that you have to Download both archives, to receive a complete backup of your account!
When your archive is available for download, this is exactly what the page will certainly resemble.
Although your very own images 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 also a whole lot faster as well as could provide you with more alternatives.
Restore Friends
As mentioned above, you won't be able to Restore or move every one of your Data which includes your friends. You should manually include friends to your new account. Unfortunately, it is not feasible export your Facebook friends to a 3rd party account and afterwards re-import them to a brand-new Facebook account.
Nevertheless, you could import contacts from 3rd party accounts such as Skype or Gmail. So if you have call information of most of your friends on accounts beyond Facebook, you could take a small faster way. Go to your brand-new Facebook account and import contacts from any kind of sustained 3rd party account (CSV files are additionally sustained) by means of the Locate Friends web page.
While you can export your Facebook calls to Yahoo! Mail, it is not be possible to re-import them to Facebook. And contacts imported from Facebook will certainly not be consisted of in a Yahoo! CSV file.
I created a different short article on how to back up your Facebook calls. Note that only contact details of friends that have actually consented to have their email address consisted of in information downloads can be imported into your Yahoo! account.
Restore Account Data
Here comes the large letdown. There is no way to publish 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 utilize 3rd party devices. Right now, the archive just works as an individual back-up, absolutely nothing more.
So exactly 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 photos, re-join teams you belonged to, re-add Facebook applications, manually re-do all your personal Settings, including basic account and personal privacy Settings, e.g. protect your Facebook account, add relied on calls, or conceal your individual Settings. I wish I had good news, but as I said previously, you can not auto-merge 2 accounts or Restore Data, so you essentially start from scratch.
What You Will Shed
You will certainly shed a lot! Your whole Timeline and News Feed history will be gone, including blog posts or pictures you were tagged in, places you explored, all the Likes you provided or received, or groups you belonged to, all your account and also privacy Settings, and other records you collected in time. Your images and also friends are truly all you could take with you, every little thing else has to be re-created by hand.
Shut off or Close Your Old Facebook Account.
If you determine to deactivate or shut your old Facebook account, make certain to add your new account as an admin to any type of Teams or Pages you handle. Or else you will shed accessibility to them.
As soon as you have actually taken care of admin roles, have actually downloaded all your Data, and make sure you intend to totally eliminate your account, log right into the Facebook account you intend to close, and also go to the Delete My Account web page to begin the process. We have formerly discussed How you can Appropriately Close Your Facebook Account.
Verdict
Facebook allows you to Download an archive of your account. However, there is no matching system in place to recover your Data, needs to the account obtain compromised. Facebook never planned to supply a recover feature; instead they were lawfully compelled to provide a means for customers to download their Data. Therefore, customers are left with only half-baked remedies or awkward workarounds, need to they prefer to merge or move accounts.
What would certainly bother you most if you needed to relocate to a brand-new Facebook account?
