[Tip] Create and Use Multiple Profiles in Facebook Account

Facebook users can now create and use multiple profiles (up to 5) in their account and use them separately just like different Facebook accounts. This article will help you in creating and using multiple profiles in your Facebook account.

Almost all of use use Facebook in our smartphones or computers. Facebook is one of the most popular and widely used social networks on Internet. Computer users use Facebook website to connect with their friends, colleagues, etc. There is also a dedicated app for Facebook available for smartphones.

In past, we could create a personal account for us using our email ID or mobile phone number to connect and chat with others but there was a major privacy issue. Since we were allowed to create a single account for us, we had to use the same account everywhere such as home, office, colleges, etc. Although we could create different accounts using different email IDs or mobile numbers but many times those multiple accounts were deleted/removed by Facebook due to their terms and policies.

Many people wanted to have separate Facebook accounts for personal and professional life and now it has become possible. Meta now allows Facebook users to create and use multiple account profiles to use them separately.

Here are some highlights of new multiple profiles feature in Facebook:

• You can create up to 4 additional profiles along with your existing or default profile.
• Each Facebook profile will have unique custom name as well as @username feed.
• You will be able to switch between profiles by clicking on the profile picture (avatar) icon without any need of login/logout.
• Some features such as Messenger support, professional mode, payment, etc are not available for additional profiles at the moment. These missing features will be rolled out in coming months.
• All additional profiles will have separate privacy and other settings. You can customize and control all profiles separately according to your requirements.
• Your main or default Facebook profile will not show that you have additional or multiple profiles.
• Multiple profile feature is available for eligible accounts only.
