How to deactivate facebook

 


You can deactivate your account temporarily and choose to come back whenever you want.

To deactivate your account:
  1. From your main profile, click account in the top right of Facebook.
  2. Select Settings and privacy, then click Settings.
  3. Click Your Facebook information in the left column. If you have Facebook access to a Page in the new Pages experience: Click Privacy, then click Your Facebook information.
  4. Click Deactivation and deletion.
  5. Choose Deactivate Account, then click Continue to Account Deactivation and follow the instructions to confirm.
When your account is deactivated:
  • No one else can see your profile.
  • Some information, such as messages that you sent to friends, may still be visible.
  • Your friends may still see your name in their friends list. This is only visible to your friends, and only from their friends list.
  • Group admins may still be able to see your posts and comments, along with your name.
  • You will not be able to use your Facebook account to access Oculus products or your Oculus information.
  • Pages that only you control will also be deactivated. If your Page is deactivated, people can't see your Page or find your Page if they search for it. If you don't want your Page to be deactivated, you can give someone else full control of your Page. You'll then be able to deactivate your account without deactivating the Page.
Bear in mind that if you choose to keep Messenger active or are logged in to Messenger when you deactivate your Facebook account, then Messenger will remain active. Learn how to deactivate Messenger.
When your Facebook account is deactivated, but you still have Messenger:
  • You can still chat with friends on Messenger.
  • Your Facebook profile picture will still be visible in your conversations on Messenger.
  • Other people can search for you to send you a message.
Reactivating your account:
If you'd like to come back to Facebook after you've deactivated your account, you can reactivate your account at any time by logging back in to Facebook or by using your Facebook account to log in somewhere else. Remember, you'll need to have access to the email address or mobile number that you use to log in to complete the reactivation.
If you're the only person that has full control of a deactivated Page, you can reactivate your Page after you reactivate your Facebook account.


What happens if I permanently delete my Facebook account?
  • You won't be able to reactivate your account
  • Your profile, photos, posts, videos and everything else you've added will be permanently deleted. You won't be able to retrieve anything you've added.
  • You'll no longer be able to use Facebook Messenger.
  • You won't be able to use Facebook Login for other apps that you may have signed up for with your Facebook account, such as Spotify or Pinterest. You may need to contact the apps and websites to recover those accounts.
  • Some information, such as messages you sent to friends, may still be visible to them after you've deleted your account. Copies of messages that you've sent are stored in your friends' inboxes.
  • If you use your Facebook account to log in to Oculus, deleting your Facebook account will also delete your Oculus information. This includes your app purchases and your achievements. You will no longer be able to return any apps and will lose any existing store credits.
  • Pages that only you control will also be deleted. If you don't want your Page to be deleted, you can give someone else full control of your Page. You'll then be able to delete your account without deleting the Page.
What if I don't want all of my content deleted, but I want to take a break from Facebook?
You can take a break from Facebook and temporarily deactivate your account. When you temporarily deactivate your account:
  • People won't be able to see or go to your Facebook profile.
  • Your photos, posts and videos won't be deleted.
  • You can still use Facebook Messenger. Your profile picture will still be visible in your conversations and people will still be able to search for you by name to send you a message. You will continue to appear to friends on Facebook in places where they can message you.
  • You will not be able to use your Facebook account to access Oculus products or your Oculus information.
  • Pages that only you control will also be deactivated. If your Page is deactivated, people can't see your Page or find your Page if they search for it. If you don't want your Page to be deactivated, you can give someone else full control of your Page. You'll then be able to deactivate your account without deactivating the Page.
  • You can choose to come back whenever you want.
How do I permanently delete my account?
Before deleting your account, you may want to log in and download a copy of your information (e.g. your photos and posts) from Facebook, and a copy of your Oculus information if you use your Facebook account to log in to Oculus. After your account has been deleted, you won't be able to retrieve anything you've added.
To permanently delete your account:
  1. From your main profile, click account in the top right of Facebook.

Can I cancel my account deletion?
If it's been less than 30 days since you initiated the deletion, you can cancel your account deletion. After 30 days, your account and all of your information will be permanently deleted, and you won't be able to retrieve your information.
It may take up to 90 days from the beginning of the deletion process to delete all the things you've posted. While we're deleting this information, it's not accessible to other people using Facebook.
Copies of your information may remain after the 90 days in backup storage that we use to recover in the event of a disaster, software error or other data loss event. We may also keep your information for things such as legal issues, terms violations or harm prevention efforts. Learn more about our Privacy Policy.
