Use an additional profile under one Facebook account when that fits your need. Meta says maintaining multiple personal accounts is against its standards, and Accounts Center accepts only one Facebook account at a time.
From the main Facebook profile, open See all profiles > Create new profile or Page > Personal profile. Use this supported profile feature instead of creating another personal account, which Meta says violates its standards.
2
Choose an additional profile
From your main profile, open See all profiles > Create new profile or Page > Personal profile and follow the prompts.
3
Switch profiles
Open your profile picture > See all profiles and select the profile you want to use.
4
Understand Accounts Center
Accounts Center can connect Facebook with Instagram, WhatsApp or Meta accounts, but only one Facebook account can be present at a time.
5
Avoid duplicate personal accounts
Meta states that maintaining more than one personal account is against its standards. Use profiles, Pages or supported account roles instead.
6
Verify profile switching
Open See all profiles, switch to the new profile, and confirm its name and profile-specific settings. Switch back to the main profile before changing account-wide security or recovery settings.
7
Use Facebook Help for unavailable profiles
If Create new profile is unavailable, check the linked Facebook eligibility guidance and use Meta's support route. Do not create a duplicate personal account or share credentials to work around the missing option.

If it does not work
If “Add Another Facebook Profile or Account on Mobile” remains unresolved, identify the first numbered step that produces a different result and preserve that screen, log, file, or message. Recheck the specific account, permission, storage, connection, driver, or hardware prerequisite above, then follow only the matching Facebook Help Center recovery path; do not combine unrelated resets, bypasses, unofficial installers, or third-party repair tools.
