On Google+, you can now combine normal and work profiles.



Google+ developers recently announced a new feature for users of this social network. Now you can combine working and regular profile, which was promised in October last year. Nine months later, this function was still implemented. The new tool allows social network users to select the main account and transfer the “circles”, along with other information, to the main account from what has been defined as auxiliary. And instead of two accounts, the user gets one, extended.

True, all this will not happen immediately. First you need to submit a request, and the time for consideration of such a request is about a week. After the start of the merger, it takes about two days before the appearance of a single account. The merging process cannot be reversed — be careful here. If you suddenly change your mind (although a week of reflection eliminates all surprise), then nothing can be done.

In order to use the proposed option, you need to choose a tool in Google Takeout . This is exactly the function that transmits "circles" and other data from the donor account to the account acceptor.

Then you need to request a transfer. This process will reduce the functionality of both accounts, so that it will be temporarily impossible to share content or update “circles”. After the transfer is completed, the functionality will return to the previous state. It is worth noting that not all data is transmitted. So, profile information, posts and comments can not be transferred from the donor account to the account acceptor.

The developers recommend to download all the data from the donor account before such a merger. Additional information is available here . In the transfer may be several pitfalls, so that it is necessary to first study the manual.
