  • Facebook has begun testing a way to allow users to create additional profiles.
  • These profiles will be tied to a user's original account but will not need to have a real name.
  • Meta may look at this new feature as a source of attractiveness, encouraging more engagement with the platform.

A new account feature is being tested. If the testing is positive, users may be able to create more than one profile.

The company behind Facebook wants to allow users to create five additional profiles. The feature is designed to help people tailor their experience based on interests and relationships. A new way for people to have more than one account is being tested. Meta might be curious if the new test will help users engage more with the site.

Should someone make another profile, they need to follow the guidelines of Facebook. It will affect your account as a whole if you receive a violation on an additional profile. This could be seen as an effort to make sure internet troll can't create more than one profile to get away with it. The new feature will allow users to use their real names on other profiles. The extra profile can have its own name.

It looks like there is a limit on these profiles. The other profiles will not be allowed on the platform.
