Facebook is set to permanently delete additional profiles after December 14, 2026.
Users with additional profiles can export their information before the deadline. To do this, they need to switch to the additional profile, go to Settings & privacy, select Settings, then open Export your information under Your information and permissions.
They can choose to download the data to their device or transfer it to an external service.
Facebook also advised users to reassign group administration if their additional profiles manage any Facebook groups. If no new administrator is assigned before the deadline, the group will be paused until another admin is added.
Users can also transfer their connections to their main profiles by reviewing their additional profile’s friends, groups, and followed Pages. They may add friends, rejoin groups, and follow Pages using their main profiles.
Facebook recommends requesting data exports before December 14, 2026, as the additional profiles and their information will be permanently deleted after that date.
Users with multiple additional profiles must export each one separately.
The change will not affect users’ main profiles, which are the first profiles created when signing up for the platform.
