How to Deactivate Your Facebook Account

February 22, 2025March 4, 2025

Are you thinking about going offline from Facebook or just a little break from the noise? It’s understandable, we are all guilty of taking a long break from social media, so no judgments at all. Facebook lets you deactivate your account (temporarily) or delete it (permanently).

In this blog post, we’ll walk you through the 6-step deactivation process. Let’s go!

These are the easy steps below:

Step 1: Log in to the Facebook app or website

Step 2: Click the profile picture on the top right or the bottom to open the menu

Step 3: Go to Settings & Privacy > Settings

Step 4: Scroll down and select Account Center

Step 5: Tap on Personal Details > Account Ownership and Control

Step 6: Select Deactivation or Deletion

Step 7: Choose Deactivate Account, follow the prompt, and deselect auto reactivation

There you have it, congratulations you are now a techie! You can simply reactivate your account by logging back in.

In a Simpler way,

Step 1: Log in to the Facebook app or website

Step 2: Click the profile picture on the top right or the bottom to open the menu

Step 3: Go to the Search bar above and input “deactivate”

Step 4: Select Deactivate, and follow the prompt.

If you decide to delete Facebook for good, follow the same steps as above, and select Delete Account, you will be asked if you want to download your data. If you have memories you wish to hold on to, you should proceed to download your data. Confirm your choice and follow the prompt.

Note: You will be given 30 days to change your mind and if you decide to log in before the 30 days are due your account will be restored; otherwise, it will be gone forever.

FAQs:

  1. Can I reactivate my Facebook account after deactivating it?

Yes, you can reactivate your Facebook account by logging back in within the 30-day deactivation period.

  1. Will my Facebook account be deleted immediately after requesting deletion?

No, Facebook will wait 30 days before permanently deleting your account, in case you change your mind.

  1. Can I download my Facebook data after deleting my account?

No, you won’t be able to download your Facebook data after deleting your account. Make sure to request a download before deleting your account.

Additional Tips:

  • Consider deleting your Facebook account if you’re concerned about data privacy or online harassment.
  • Take a break from social media to focus on your mental health and well-being.
  • Download your Facebook data to preserve your memories and content.
