Meta has announced that it is making it easier to customize experience on Facebook with multiple personal profiles. Creating multiple personal profiles lets you easily organize who you share with and what content you see for the various parts of your life. Although the company already offers controls that let you choose what audience you’re sharing with on Facebook, it was still experimenting with multiple profiles over the last year. The ability to create multiple personal profiles is starting to roll out globally and will continue over the next few months.

To create a separate profile, you can follow these steps

  1. Choose a name and have an @username for up to four additional personal profiles. 
  2. Connect with the people or communities you choose so each profile has a unique Feed with relevant content and shared interests. 
  3. Switch between your profiles, with no login required. 

At launch, some Facebook features — such as Dating, Marketplace, Professional Mode and payments — will not be available to additional personal profiles. To start, messaging will be available within the Facebook app and on the web for additional personal profiles. The company plans to expand Messenger support for additional profiles in the coming months. The option for an additional personal profile will be available only to eligible adult accounts.
