Facebook is possibly making a dream come true for many users who’ve wanted to have different personalities on the platform. The social media service now allows people to create multiple profiles that function independently, complete with their own notifications, messages, and privacy settings. That means you can now be your regular self for your friends and family and be someone entirely different for the rest of the world.
Users are allowed to create up to four additional personal profiles using a single Facebook account. That means you can have five profiles on Facebook, including your main profile and the four additional ones you can create. Profile switching will work just like it does on Instagram, without needing to log in or out.
Some features like Dating, Marketplace, Professional mode, and payments will be unavailable for the additional profiles you create at launch. That said, Messaging for the extra profiles will be available within the Facebook app and on the web. Messenger support will also be added in the coming months.
