If you no longer need your Facebook account, you can easily
deactivate it. To do so, visit the Facebook account settings page. Click the
down arrow icon in the top right corner and select Account Ownership and
Control. From here, click Deactivate Account. Select the reason why you wish to
deactivate your Facebook account. Once you have selected a reason, click
Deactivate Account. You will then be taken to a screen where you can confirm
the deactivation or sign back in.
When you deactivate your account, you can still search for
it, but you will no longer be able to view any of your posts, photos, or
"likes" on your timeline. In addition, your account will appear with
a plain text name and a default icon. Fortunately, Facebook gives its users up
to 30 days before the "point of no return" when it comes to deleting
their accounts. However, this leeway only lasts for a limited time, and if you
log back into Facebook within that time, your account will be automatically
reactivated.
There are several reasons why you may want to deactivate
your Facebook account. For one thing, deactivating your account can help you
focus better. If you have a job or other serious duty, you might want to avoid
constant distractions. You can deactivate your Facebook account on your Android
or iOS smartphone or on your desktop PC. To do this, you need to enter your
Facebook password. Once you have entered the password, you should be able to
sign in to Facebook again and enjoy a more productive life.
The process is the same for Android phones and iPhones.
First, open the Facebook app on your phone. After that, click the menu icon in
the top right corner. Next, select Account Ownership and Control. Finally,
select "Deactivation and Deletion." You should now have a menu with
options for deleting your account.
Alternatively, you can permanently deactivate your Facebook
account. If you are unsure about deactivating your Facebook account, you can
always reactivate it later. You can also use a VPN to limit your Facebook
tracking. It is important to note that you will still need to change your
privacy settings, because Facebook will have access to your profile and other
information.
