Facebook Rolls Out Profile Switching, Allowing Up to 5 Profiles Per Account
-
Facebook now allows users to create up to 4 additional profiles linked to one account. Each profile can have its own name, messages, privacy settings, etc.
-
With profile switching, you can easily toggle between your main profile and the additional ones without logging in/out.
-
Some features like Dating, Marketplace, Professional mode, and payments won't be available for extra profiles at launch.
-
Your main profile must use your real name, but additional profiles can use any name. This could enable misuse if not monitored.
-
Facebook says it will take action against accounts that repeatedly violate policies across any of their linked profiles.
