  • How to Switch Facebook Accounts in the iOS App

    Much like on a browser, it’s possible to connect multiple accounts to your Facebook app, but this will require some initial setup. Though be aware switching between accounts in the app is a little more involved as it doesn’t support the Switch Account feature from the browser version.

    Any alternate accounts already connected via web browser will not automatically carry over to the mobile app—you’ll still have to connect them manually.

    1. In the app, tap Menu in the bottom-left corner of the screen, scroll down to the bottom of the menu and tap Log out.

    2. Tap Log out to confirm.

    4. Follow the necessary steps to sign into your other Facebook account and tap Log in.

    5. When you want to switch between accounts now, tap Menu > Log out like before, then choose the account you want to switch to from the login screen.

    How to Disconnect an Alternate Account

    If for any reason you no longer want to be able to quickly switch to a particular account, you can remove it from your rotation. This will not delete the Facebook account—it will only remove the association with your other accounts so it no longer appears as a switching option.

    1. In your browser, select your profile image, and then See All Profiles > Switch accounts > X next to the account you want to remove > Remove Account.

    2. Click Remove Account, then click Remove Account to confirm.

    4. Tap the gear icon, then tap the account you want to remove.

    5. Tap Remove account to remove it from your account login options.

    FAQ

    • How do I delete a Facebook account?

      If you're done with your alt (or even your main), you can delete a Facebook account in a web browser. Go to your profile image > Settings & privacy > Settings > Privacy > Your Facebook information > Deactivation and deletion > Delete account > Continue to account deletion. Confirm and enter your password to remove your account.

    • How do I deactivate my Facebook account?

      Deactivating an account hides your posts (but not messages) and stops people from finding your page, but it holds your data for later in case you come back. To do so, open Facebook in a desktop browser and go to your profile image > Settings & privacy > Settings > Privacy > Your Facebook information > Deactivation and deletion > Deactivate account > Continue to account deactivation. You'll have to confirm a few things and enter your password before the deactivation happens.

      How do I Log into two Facebook accounts on the app?

      To switch accounts on an app or mobile device, log out of an account and then log in with a different account.

      Can you Log into 2 Facebook accounts at the same time?

      The standard Facebook app and web-based version don't allow users to log into more than one account at once. While Facebook for mobile devices lets you switch between accounts, it's not the same as using two simultaneously.
