Combine Facebook Accounts 2019
While Facebook does not provide a means to auto-merge all your friends, images, status updates, check-ins or various other info, you can manually merge parts of your accounts. All it takes is a little preparation and perseverance. Regrettably, you will not have the ability to migrate or re-create every one of your Data.
Combine Facebook Accounts
Bulk Download Data
As an initial step I advise to bulk download your Facebook Data, a treatment I have defined formerly. This treatment could take a while and the archive will function as a marginal back-up, should you determine to shut down or delete your account. It will not be of terrific help in bring back any type of Data, though.
Quickly, go to your General Account Settings and also click Download a copy of your Facebook Data near the bottom.
This will lead you to a page where you can download your info and get a duplicate of exactly what you have actually shared on Facebook.
Currently do begin your archive on this very first web page. On top of that find where it says You can likewise Download an expanded archive ... as well as click the respective web link. This will lead you to the Expanded Archive Download page where you will be asked to re-enter your password.
Currently below is where you will require perseverance. Relying on how big your main as well as your increased archive are and the amount of various other archives remain in the line, this could take a while. And with that said I suggest a few hrs.
Note that you must Download both archives, to obtain a full backup of your account!
When your archive is readily available for download, this is exactly what the web page will look like.
Although your personal photos are supposed to be included in the archive, you should download your Facebook Photos independently. Not just is this procedure one more back-up, it is likewise a lot faster as well as could supply you with more alternatives.
Restore Friends
As discussed over, you won't be able to Restore or move all your Data which includes your friends. You have to manually add friends to your new account. Regrettably, 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 can import contacts from third party accounts such as Skype or Gmail. So if you have get in touch with details of most of your friends on accounts beyond Facebook, you can take a small faster way. Go to your brand-new Facebook account and import calls from any supported third party account (CSV data are likewise sustained) via the Find 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 also calls imported from Facebook will absolutely not be included in a Yahoo! CSV documents.
I wrote a separate short article on how you can support your Facebook calls. Keep in mind that just call info of friends that have actually consented to have their e-mail address consisted of in information downloads can be imported into your Yahoo! account.
Restore Account Data
Here comes the large disappointment. There is no other way to submit or otherwise import your archive to Restore or move Data from your old Facebook account to your brand-new one. Whatever you wish to Restore, you have to do it (semi-) manually or utilize third party tools. Now, the archive simply works as a personal backup, absolutely nothing more.
So just what are your choices? 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 photos, re-join groups you belonged to, re-add Facebook apps, manually re-do all your personal Settings, including general account and also personal privacy Settings, e.g. safeguard your Facebook account, include relied on contacts, or hide your personal Settings. I desire I had good news, however as I said in the past, you can not auto-merge two accounts or Restore Data, so you essentially start from scratch.
What You Will certainly Shed
You will lose a whole lot! Your whole Timeline and also Information Feed history will be gone, consisting of posts or pictures you were identified in, areas you checked out, all the Likes you issued or got, or teams you were a member of, all your account as well as privacy Settings, and also any other documents you built up in time. Your images and also friends are actually all you can take with you, whatever else has to be re-created by hand.
Deactivate or Close Your Old Facebook Account.
If you determine to deactivate or close your old Facebook account, make sure to include your new account as an admin to any kind of Teams or Pages you manage. Or else you will shed accessibility to them.
When you have looked after admin roles, have actually downloaded all your Data, and also are sure you want to completely remove your account, log right into the Facebook account you wish to close, as well as visit the Erase My Account page to begin the procedure. We have formerly clarified Ways to Effectively Close Your Facebook Account.
Verdict
Facebook allows you to Download an archive of your account. Nevertheless, there is no matching system in position to restore your Data, needs to the account get compromised. Facebook never intended to give a recover feature; instead they were legally compelled to use a method for customers to download their Data. Therefore, customers are left with only half-baked options or awkward workarounds, ought to they desire to merge or relocate accounts.
