Facebook launches multiple profiles feature

Meta announced Facebook's new feature in a blog post on its website. The tech giant wrote: "Whether you're new to Facebook or a longtime user, you may want to keep your personal and professional relationships separate, or you may want to keep one profile tied to a community you're a part of and another just for friends. Creating multiple personal profiles lets you easily organize who you share with and what content you see for the various parts of your life. Think of one profile for the foodie scene you love and another one to keep up with your friends and family."

Users can access the new feature by choosing a name and username for different profiles. Up to four new profiles can be added to the same account. With each profile, users can connect with various communities or people based on whom the Feed will be personalized. "Connect with the people or communities you choose so that each profile has a unique feed with relevant content and shared interests," Meta said. Additionally, users can easily switch between different profiles without logging in.
