Also, some features of the platform will remain available only for your main profile. For example, creating and managing a Facebook page and using Facebook’s dating service will require you to use your main profile.
But whether you use the main profile or an additional one, you will still be required to comply with Facebook’s policies. If you receive a violation on any of your secondary profiles, this will impact your whole account. Multiple transgressions from one of your profiles can still result in a ban for your whole account. According to Facebook, this rule will protect its platform from people abusing the system.
At the moment — since it’s still in testing — there is no information on when Facebook will release the ability to have up to five profiles on its platform. Presumably, this new feature is another attempt by Facebook to prevent its users from jumping ship. The social media is currently in a downfall, and it’s losing its users, mainly to TikTok. However, we are skeptical that the ability to have multiple profiles on Facebook will make users stay and use the platform longer. Also, we don’t think that will be a very useful feature either. But hey, we guess we will see when Facebook releases it.
