Facebook might soon let you be multiple yous – with limits

In a bid to bring people back, Facebook is letting a limited number of users have up to five different profiles as part of a new test.

Initial reports come from Bloomberg (opens in new tab) where it says the test is only available to certain users in a select few countries, including the United States. One profile on the account will need to serve as the core with the user’s real name attached to it. The additional four profiles won’t need to use your person’s real name as they can have their own unique username. Plus, they all have a unique news feed. It should also be noted that multiple accounts are still not allowed on Facebook. Profiles are considered different from accounts.
