Question:
I accidentally created two personal Facebook pages. Is there any way to combine the two accounts so the Friends list in each one gets added together into one big list?
Answer
According to Facebook’s Help guide, the site “does not currently offer a way to merge two separate accounts.” If you want to do your own sort of manual merge to get photos and other info from one account to the other, Facebook recommends that you download a copy of the information from the account you want to close first. The site has instructions for doing this here.
Downloading your information from Facebook gives you an archive file with your photos, videos and other content you posted to the site with that account, along with your Friends list. Once you get the download data from the account you want to close, and upload it to the one you want to keep, you can delete the unwanted Facebook page (as explained here).
As you resettle onto the single Facebook profile page, you can use the Friends list you downloaded from the deleted account as a guide for sending out new Friend requests to the people you want to keep in your online life. Unlike personal accounts, duplicate Facebook “Pages” representing businesses, brands or organizations can be merged.
