    How to create two Facebook profiles (Web / Android / iOS)

    If your intent is to create two profiles on Facebook, then the first thing you need to do is sign up for Facebook for the second time, in order to create your second account.



    To do this you must go to the home page of the social network and I advise you to proceed first through the browser you usually use to browse the Internet.

    Then open your favorite navigation program (for example Google Chrome or Safari) and type the address www.facebook.com in the browser bar located at the top and then press the Enter key from the keyboard to connect to the main page of the social network.
