Meta to Remove Facebook Additional Profiles on December 14
Meta has announced the permanent removal of additional Facebook profiles linked to a single account, effective December 14, 2026.
According to a report by Thai Post, Meta has officially announced that it will discontinue the 'additional profiles' feature on Facebook. Starting December 14, 2026, all secondary profiles created under a single primary account will be permanently deleted. This change specifically targets users who have utilized the platform's feature to manage multiple identities or personas under one login.
For residents and travelers in Thailand who rely on these secondary profiles for managing local community groups, business interests, or personal privacy, this update may require immediate action. Users are advised to back up any essential data, photos, or communications associated with these secondary profiles before the mid-December deadline, as the deletion process will be irreversible.
It is important to note that this policy change does not affect primary Facebook accounts or professional Pages. While the core functionality of the platform remains intact, the removal of these auxiliary profiles marks a significant shift in how Meta manages user identity. At this time, it remains to be confirmed whether Meta will provide a specific migration tool for users to transition content from secondary profiles to their main accounts or if all associated data will be purged entirely. Users should monitor their Facebook notifications for further instructions from the platform.
