Note: You must be at least 13 years old to create a Facebook account.
There are two ways to create a Facebook account. You can create a new account from the Facebook app or Facebook.com. If you already have an existing Instagram account, you can use this account to create a new Facebook account. Both accounts will be added to the same Accounts Center and have access to connected experiences.
Create a Facebook account
  1. Open your Facebook app and tap Create New Account.
  2. Tap Get Started.
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions and enter your first and last name, date of birth and gender.
  4. Enter your mobile phone number, or tap Use your email address.
  5. Create a password you'll remember.
  6. Tap Sign Up.
  7. To finish creating your account, you need to confirm your email or mobile phone number.
Create a Facebook account if you already have an Instagram account
If you set up a new Facebook account using your Instagram account, both accounts will use the same login information. You may also be able to sync profile information across your accounts, like your name, profile picture, username and avatar. You can manage profile syncing at any time in Accounts Center.
To create a Facebook account using an existing Instagram account:
  1. Open the Facebook app on a mobile device that you’ve previously logged into Instagram with. When you open the Facebook app, you should see your Instagram account(s) displayed on the login screen.
  2. Tap the Instagram account you’d like to use to create a new Facebook account.
  3. The next screen describes what happens when you create a new Facebook account with your Instagram account. Tap Yes, continue if you’d like to proceed, or tap Continue without Instagram if you don’t want to create a Facebook account with your Instagram account.
  4. Choose whether to sync profile info, like your name and profile picture, across apps, and click either Sync this info or Not now. If you select Not now, you will need to enter your name.
  5. Select your gender, then tap Next.
  6. Review Facebook’s terms and policies, then tap I agree if you agree.
You may be asked to save your login info. If you choose not to save your login information, you need to enter it the next time you log back into your account.
