Two Facebook accounts on your phone might result from accidental login or if you've created a secondary account. To fix this, check if you’re logged in with multiple profiles through app settings. Log out from the undesired account via Facebook’s ‘Settings & Privacy’ > ‘Settings’ > ‘Security and Login’. Consider keeping only your primary account logged in for convenience and security. If you regularly switch profiles, use Facebook’s option to manage multi-account access easily.
