How does Facebook link accounts? Need to be anonymous

[Lucy L]

Hi guys,

I just wanted to create ONE account which can be completely separate and not linked to my personal account, where friends are. I used a new phone and signed up with that, but I once I create the account I still got those "people you may know" recommendations and they're friends from my personal account! So I must be showing up in their recommended friends, too. Why has this happened when the phone number is different? I haven't entered an email address.

I did link it to a new Instagram account I created, but also with the new phone. However, I signed into that IG account on my old, personal phone...is this why?? It was created with a different account, though!

Argh! I don't want people to discover this account. Thanks

Did you create it on your wi-fi?

That's why I don't Fick with Facebook! If I want friends I can find them on my own damnit. Yeah they probably tracking your IP address.

Oh...yes..so is it likely that I'm also showing up in my personal account's friends' recommendations?

Do I need to create a new account (but is that number ok or I need another one?!) and use VPN to ensure that my accounts aren't linked? Do I create a new IG account as well, since it's linked to that FB account? Although that username will now be taken.

I also don't understand whether there's still linking of accounts if I sign into an account on my wifi. Not even create it, but just sign in. For instance, I sign into my clients' accounts sometimes but I didn't create them, and some of their friends are showing as recommended on this new account.

Thanks. Is VPN not enough or you recommend a proxy? So does this mean that I also create a new IG account, since it was linked to that FB account I created? Do I need a proxy for that as well? That username is now taken, argh.

Is there any risk of losing those accounts if I use a proxy?

And finally...I also don't understand whether there's still linking of accounts if I sign into an account on my wifi. Not even create it, but just sign in. For instance, I sign into my clients' accounts sometimes but I didn't create them, and some of their friends are showing as recommended on this new account. I will definitely need to log into this new IG account from my personal phone....so not sure if it can still be linked..? Or it's just how it's linked to FB.
