If you use Facebook as your social communication tool, then you know you can easily separate your profiles and switch accounts when necessary. But what happens when the switch account button is missing?
The switch account option on Facebook may be missing if you’ve let cache and cookies build up over a long period. It is also possible if you’ve not logged into the other account in a while and Facebook logged you out for security purposes.
How can I get back the switch account button on Facebook?
1. Log out of everywhere and login again
2. Clear cache and cookies
2.1 Browser cookies
2.2 App cookies
3. Reset app settings
3.1 Browser
3.2 Facebook app
If you try all these and none seem to bring up the switch account button, try with another browser. Sometimes,Facebook is just not working on Chrome. There are somebrowsers that augur welland have a greater compatibility with the app so switch to one of them and see how it works.
You can also try contactingFacebook customer care supportand see whether they have any additional solutions.
Still on switching accounts, you may findFacebook keeps asking you to switch accountsbut we already have a dedicated article on how to bypass this error.
