Facebook users may soon be able to create multiple profiles under their accounts

[{"selector":"#anim-12e13bf4-ff8b-45a7-8a6e-1279e581a180","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":100,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5d3af8a0-6e37-4d17-abf6-10d8a7476e69","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 42.47668%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":100,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cc1aed1d-2b9b-4d1c-8659-6810e99547bf","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a1100a84-cb77-409c-b6d8-98c63265d20a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 175.81703%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Facebook is testing an option for users to create multiple profiles from a single account

[{"selector":"#anim-fc058ae5-8ce4-4e34-bc52-2af5b844ed00","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":100,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d96ea9a2-2cb9-46d2-aaa4-042097302236","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 39.42324%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":100,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4c6c68fe-14a6-4f1b-ab84-3974690b7fb0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9d99e890-90d9-422a-a7ce-3ba02e8f3a62","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 167.41369%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ffbea621-63b8-463f-ba74-8414ceb17cd6 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(33.12499989760315%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Presently, Facebook prohibits users from having more than one account

[{"selector":"#anim-66599057-3361-4f69-951e-382c4c894d5c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":100,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cbe649bc-01a4-4596-97ec-dbb2922c6d4a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 39.42324%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":100,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2b52cc27-a79b-4833-9fb7-75f89ded1647","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d619fa87-26f3-4665-be30-f7976390da39","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 171.61536%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

However, this new feature would let them create up to five profiles under their account

[{"selector":"#anim-bcb08875-4b39-41e9-a9c9-aa367900bae9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":100,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8c2d8511-6d8d-4637-ad05-661b00428e5b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 39.42324%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":100,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c3b237f1-2be5-4eb8-a2f3-4b62c0419430","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-41270a9d-b12b-4ff2-a676-e63f2c610a4f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 169.09433%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-794f34d9-e992-4613-84a2-322f464c192f [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(57.447916572802896%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

This would enable Facebook users engage with different topics or groups of people

[{"selector":"#anim-cf304550-921a-42af-9118-96fc97d5bdec","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":100,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4a44b40c-c905-4f36-9232-5aa75557df4d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 37.89652%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":100,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4b79ab13-7700-4e07-ad39-ca41c067bc18","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-484cf748-d476-4f3d-b946-8d9e55de4c94","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 167.41369%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4243b9b2-ac0f-40d3-9a50-d9a1c05a5c7c [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(45.481263432612465%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}]

The test comes mid stiff competition that Facebook faces from rivals like TikTok

[{"selector":"#anim-5868879a-8ea9-4001-bd47-f9ffa74f6080","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":100,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0bf4e8ac-a004-4948-8aa1-1a9606cedc54","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 40.94995%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":100,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-279a48ed-dd3a-4da1-a1fc-6aa5a24072b6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b553880d-76d0-4a24-b125-f7573737c26e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 174.97671%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7858ff3c-7dc5-405f-a3c3-dccd855c463b [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-23.437499829338602%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

For many, Facebook has lost its appeal in recent times

[{"selector":"#anim-bf09fd2f-f68e-413b-b6ac-4439a01c285f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":100,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-89dba92d-9382-4124-854e-bb651d25665e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 36.36981%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":100,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ebac946d-5e34-4b48-93d1-8765a4c01ef7","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-386d6e64-1714-445d-813e-032ae83b7c03","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 200.24977%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a46bff0c-42d0-4b24-946b-0434cf89433f [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(17.564709305784284%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]
