MANILA, Philippines – Facebook announced Friday, February 19 (February 20, Manila time), that multiple account support is now available on Messenger for Android.

Messenger users will be able to add more than one account to an Android device through a new Accounts section in the Settings. Users do not need to be signed in on Facebook to take advantage of the new feature.

Upon the first attempt at an account switch, a password will be required. Afterwards, users can then choose whether to require a password change or not.

Users will also be able to easily remove an account from a given device.

Facebook added that messages on each account are separate and will “stay completely private. Anyone else who shares the device will just see the number of notifications of messages that you have, but they will never be able to see the content of your messages.” – Rappler.com
