How to Use Numerous Facebook Accounts on iPhone and Android

Accessing numerous Facebook accounts on the computer is very effortless — you just have to open a fresh browser or a private window to sign in to another Facebook account at the same time. However, when it comes to the Androids and iPhones, the story switches. The 11” physical keyboard makes it effortless to come in the user credentials, but for phones, we needed an lighter way that would not want us to type the login information every time we want to access an extra Facebook account.

So, let’s see how we can solve the issue at palm. There’s no trick using which one can configure more than one Facebook account in the official Facebook app, but there are two third-party apps, one each for Android and iPhone, using which you can configure numerous Facebook accounts and lightly switch inbetween them without signing out from one.

Friendcaster is the one we will be using for Android, while Friendly will help the iPhone users.

Friendcaster for Android (UPDATE: This implement is not available anymore) is a Facebook app replacement which provides better user interface and features along with shove notifications. The very first Facebook account that you link to the app becomes your primary account. To add extra accounts, open the app preferences and tap on Accounts. Here you will be given the option to Add another account.

The app will ask for the Facebook username and password of the 2nd account you would like to configure. After successful authentication, the app will ask you to grant all the permissions just like you did for the primary account.

You can then switch inbetween the accounts lightly from the app preferences and if you have a third or even fourth Facebook account you wish to add, Friendcaster provides that option as well. Apart from letting one configure numerous accounts, Friendcaster provides many extra features you might want to explore.

The app has a different presentation style and you might even like it better than the official app.

Friendly for iPhone

iOS users who would like to configure more than one Facebook account for simultaneous use will find Friendly a very useful app. We have already collective its review in the past. And in the same post, we have shown you how it can be used to add numerous accounts. The app is effortless to use and provides seamless access from all the accounts configured in it.

I had chanced upon this app during my quest to find apps that support such configuration. And once I commenced using this one, I couldn’t go back to the official app and ended up purchasing the pro version.

I found Friendly to be more user-friendly than the official app.

Conclusion

So, that was how to log in to more than just a single Facebook profile on Android and iPhone while having the convenience of an app and not using the mobile browser (and getting frustrated by it eventually).

The apps can also be used as an alternative to the official apps for Facebook for both the platforms. Got better apps in mind? Let us know.
