But first, why does Facebook do it?

Why does Facebook ban you when you use multiple accounts?

There are several reasons why Facebook may ban you for owning or managing multiple accounts, including:

• Violating Facebook’s terms of service: Facebook considers itself a “real identity platform” and restricts users to having only one personal account. If you register and log in to multiple accounts from one device using different emails and phone numbers, it can be detected by the platform and lead to a ban on all accounts.
• Unusual Login Behavior: Facebook considers unusual login behavior, such as logging in to multiple accounts from the same IP address, a violation of their policies. This can be problematic for teams running multiple accounts, as they may be using the same IP address. It’s important to note that Facebook’s automatic trackers are designed to detect and prevent the use of multiple accounts on a single browser.
• Spamming or Harassing Other Users: Multiple accounts can be used to spread spam, misinformation, or engage in malicious activities. Facebook aims to maintain a safe and trustworthy platform, so it takes measures to prevent such behavior.
• Manipulating Facebook’s algorithms: Facebook’s algorithms are designed to detect suspicious activity. If Facebook detects unusual patterns or behavior associated with your accounts, it may flag them as potentially fraudulent or spammy.

If you violate Facebook’s policies by using multiple accounts, there is a risk of getting banned.

However, it’s worth mentioning that Facebook’s AI may make mistakes, and sometimes bans can happen by mistake. If you believe your ban was a mistake, there may be a chance to restore your account by following the instructions provided by Facebook.

Now that we’ve covered the reasons why Facebook doesn’t like multiple accounts, let’s move on to the benefits and drawbacks of managing multiple Facebook accounts.

Advantages and Disadvantages: Why You Should Use Multiple Facebook Accounts and Why You Should Not

While there are potential benefits to managing multiple Facebook accounts, it’s essential to consider the drawbacks as well. Here are some advantages and disadvantages to help you make an informed decision:

Advantages

The following are some of the reasons why people manage multiple Facebook accounts.

• Targeted Marketing: Managing multiple accounts allows you to target different demographics or niches with tailored content and advertisements.
• Multiple Pages for a Business: Businesses with multiple locations or ventures may want to create separate Facebook accounts for each. This can help with targeting specific audiences and tailoring content to each location or venture.
• Separation of Personal and Professional Accounts: If you have a personal and business presence on Facebook, having separate accounts can help maintain a clear distinction between the two.
• Enhanced Privacy: Using separate accounts can provide an additional layer of privacy, as you can control who sees your personal information and posts.

Disadvantages

Managing multiple Facebook accounts should be an intentional act because it takes a lot of dedication except you are a social media manager and that’s how you can a make living. However, as an individual, you should consider creating multiple accounts for the following reasons:

• Time and Effort: Managing multiple accounts can be time-consuming and requires significant effort to create, post, and engage with content across all platforms. This can ultimately affect productivity and hinder your ability to focus on other important tasks.
• Increased Risk of Mistakes: With multiple accounts, there is a higher chance of making errors, such as posting content to the wrong account or mixing up messages. When this happens, it can harm your online reputation and make the efforts of managing multiple accounts in vain.
• Diminished Quality of Engagement: With limited time and resources spread thin among multiple accounts, it can be challenging to consistently maintain distinct and engaging content for each account and provide meaningful engagement with followers.

This issue may result in shallow interactions or delayed responses, potentially impacting the user’s reputation and relationship with their audience.

How to Effectively Manage Multiple Facebook Accounts

Managing multiple Facebook accounts requires no special expertise, you only need to access the right tools and techniques. Here are some of the popular methods used to manage multiple social media accounts.

Using Facebook Business Manager

Facebook allows you to manage multiple pages for a business account via the Facebook Business Manager feature. It allows businesses to create multiple Facebook pages for different uses on a particular account.

However, this is not an effective solution for a social media manager or for individuals who choose to manage multiple accounts. You can only use one account for a specific business within Facebook Business Manager, making it inconvenient for those handling diverse accounts or overseeing multiple clients.

Using Different Devices

With what we discussed earlier, you may be thinking that accessing your accounts on different devices may be the best solution.

Your accounts on different devices will register different IP addresses, making it difficult for Facebook to trace them back to one single owner.

However, this can quickly become a huge burden and inconvenience, as you need to constantly switch between devices to access and manage your various accounts. Not to mention the money cost and the hassle of synchronizing data and settings across different devices, which can lead to confusion and potential data loss.

Using Proxies

Proxies are the simplest solution to managing your IP address on the internet. You can change your IP address at will with them. Proxies work by simply masking your device’s IP address with another one. It also gives you the freedom to choose what kind of address you want.

Using proxies on one device to manage multiple Facebook accounts poses one challenge—you can only access one account at a time. You also have to be careful of switching IP addresses as Facebook’s algorithm might register frequent IP address changes as suspicious activity.

For an optimal solution, consider managing your proxies with a reliable proxy management tool. A tool like Foxy Proxy (on the Firefox browser) provides this functionality. However, for superior results and seamless integration, Incogniton is the ideal choice, and you’ll find out why in the next section.
