It will be a serious shift from the '**real name**' requirement that the company has always maintained since its origin. ``` HIGHLIGHTSFacebook would help users to maintain up to five profilesHelps users to tailor their experiences based on interests and relationshipCompany states that one user can have only one Facebook account with main profile ``` Well, the change in the product would rather '**help people to tailor their own experience which is based on their interests and [relationships](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/11850/how-to-build-stronger-relationships-with-your-employees)**,' similarly like posting differing types of content which generally aims toward family versus friends, as mentioned by [Meta](https://www.mindstick.com/news/1704/meta-to-cut-off-hiring-plans-girds-for-fierce-headwinds) in a statement. The company continues to require that every user can only have one [Facebook account](https://www.mindstick.com/news/1554/facebook-parent-meta-looking-for-tools-of-money-making-for-its-metaverse), with a main profile that would continue to use the person's real name. Well, people would be eligible to access any further profiles they create only after logging into that particular account. ![Facebook would soon allow up to five profiles within one account](https://www.mindstick.com/usernews/645947/e7657673-938e-4c4b-b79b-b372ccb902b0/images/5e6d84c7-99f8-48e8-abde-38858146e584.jpeg)\ The recent change would grant the users with the formal leeway to semi-anonymize their identity on the world's biggest social network, along with keeping with choices offered by competitors like [TikTok](https://www.mindstick.com/news/1735/parents-of-two-girls-sue-tiktok-over-their-deaths-after-attempting-for-blackout-challenge), [Twitter](https://www.mindstick.com/news/1738/elon-musk-to-get-sued-by-twitter-as-it-hires-us-law-firm-wachtell) and [Instagram, Meta's own photo and video app](https://www.mindstick.com/news/1665/instagram-possessor-meta-is-introducing-new-parental-control-in-the-uk). In one of its statement, Meta has specified its own rules against [impersonation](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/326/what-is-impersonation-in-asp-dot-net) and alternative kinds of misleading representations of any identity would still apply to all or any profiles. According to a Meta's spokesperson the company would be testing the new approaches within different countries, but it had declined to the fact that it would specify which ones they are testing.
