How to sign up for Facebook or create an account

Facebook is the most widely used social network, with over 2 billion registered users globally. Hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world visit the official site daily in order to create an account and take advantage of the services offered by Facebook. In this guide, we’ll help you register or create an account or sign up for Facebook and login to access your FB account.

Creating an account on this social network is a very simple process that requires nothing more than your personal details, an email address (an existing one that you use) or a phone number as a replacement, a secure password and, of course, some personal photos that you wish to include after having created your profile. Below we will show you how to create an account on different platforms.

Create a Facebook account from a mobile smartphone or tablet

Smartphones and tablets with iOS and Android operating systems are the main platforms on which Facebook has a presence, given that these systems concentrate a large number of users. Whether you own a Huawei, Samsung, Xiaomi, iPhone, iPad or any other smartphone or tablet, creating a Facebook account is very simple.

1. Visit https://facebook.com/r.php, the official Facebook registration page.
2. Fill in your details in the corresponding fields, clicking the Next button each time you finish. Facebook will ask for the following information:
3. Personal details: first and last name (which are real), date of birth, and gender.
4. Phone number or email address: will be useful from now on for account verification, as well as being a means of account recovery if needed.
5. Password: make sure you choose a secure password for the account.
6. Confirmation of phone number or email: in the first case, Facebook will send an SMS with the activation link. In the second case, however, you will receive an email to your email containing the same link. Complete this procedure to finish the account creation process.
7. Finally, install the application (optional): make sure that your smartphone mobile phone or tablet has installed the Facebook application in order to use the social network more easily and comfortably. If it is not already installed, search for the application in the Google Play Store/App Store, as indicated below:

• Facebook App for Android device
• Facebook app for iOS
  

However, you will always have the option of accessing Facebook from the mobile browser. It is recommended to use Google Chrome or a similar browser to ensure the best experience.

It is worth remembering that it is possible to create an account directly from the Facebook application once you have downloaded it.

1. To do so, simply open the application and click “Create new Facebook account”.
2. Then click “Next” and you will be given the choice of whether or not to allow Facebook to access your contacts. If so, Facebook will possibly find friendships on the network after the account is created.
3. Once all this is done, the process is the same as creating the account from the browser.
