If you’re like most people, you use Facebook to keep in touch with friends and family. But if you ever need to deactivate your account, here’s how to do it on your iPhone.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Tap Facebook.
- Tap the three lines in the top left corner of the screen. (If you don’t see these lines, tap More at the bottom of the screen.)
- Under “Account Type,” tap Deactivate Account. (If you don’t see this option, your account is already deactivated.)
- Enter your password and confirm it. Then tap Deactivate Account again to finish setting up deactivation on your iPhone. ..
To deactivate your Facebook account, go to Menu > Settings & Privacy > Settings > Personal and Account Information. Select Deactivation and Deletion > Continue to Account Deactivation. Examine the choices and tap Deactivate My Account. It’s only for a while.
Click Account Settings in the top right corner of Facebook. Select Settings & Privacy from the drop-down menu. In the left column, click Your Facebook Information. Click Deactivation and Deletion under Delete My Account Later for a permanent deletion option. Then choose Permanently Delete Account, followed by Continue to Account Deletion.
Go to the Facebook settings page (by clicking the drop-down arrow in the upper right corner of the screen). If Facebook doesn’t take you there by default, go to General Account Settings. , After that, even though deactivation is completely reversible, whether you’re sure will be asked.
When you cancel your account, Facebook keeps all of your preferences, photos, and information in case you decide to reactivate it. Your data is not lost—it’s simply hidden. It is possible to permanently delete your account with no opportunity for recovery, though.
Users are not required to provide a reason for their account’s deactivation, according to Facebook. However, if a user truly wants to end the relationship permanently, she has the option of deleting her account altogether.
