You&#8217;ll need to know how to enter your Facebook password to delete your account. You can also cancel the deactivation. However, you&#8217;ll have to re-enter the password to reactivate your account. This is not a convenient solution for those of you who want to use Facebook but need to avoid unwanted spam emails.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Temporarily_deactivating_your_Facebook_account\"><\/span>Temporarily deactivating your Facebook account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Temporarily deactivating your Facebook accounts on iPhone is a handy feature that prevents your profile from appearing in other people&#8217;s searches. Though the account is deleted, the information in it will be archived. You can reactivate it to recover the information, but a note of caution: deactivated posts and messages will remain visible to people you&#8217;ve messaged and in your friends list.<\/p>\n<p>To deactivate your Facebook account, go to the app&#8217;s settings and select the option for &#8220;temporarily disabling your account.&#8221; You can enter your password to disable your account. Then, tap &#8220;Disable account.&#8221; You&#8217;ll be asked to enter your password again, if necessary. Once you&#8217;ve entered your password, you can now deactivate your Facebook account on iPhone.<\/p>\n<p>While your Facebook account is inactive, you&#8217;ll still be able to send and receive messages, invite friends, join groups, and tag yourself in photos. You won&#8217;t be able to login to your Facebook account again, but you can give someone else control of your Facebook page. This means you can temporarily deactivate your Facebook account while you&#8217;re away from home. But, remember that your Facebook account will remain available to people you&#8217;ve given access to.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Permanently_deleting_your_Facebook_account\"><\/span>Permanently deleting your Facebook account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Delete your Facebook account on iPhone by using the Settings app. You&#8217;ll have to enter your password to confirm the deletion process. You have 30 days to opt out of the process. After this time, your information will be completely removed from Facebook. This process may take as long as 90 days, so you should download a copy of the information you want to keep. This way, you won&#8217;t have to worry about any information getting into the wrong hands.<\/p>\n<p>To permanently delete your Facebook account on iPhone, go to Settings -&gt; General -&gt; Delete Account. After that, you can follow the instructions to deactivate your account. Moreover, you can also deactivate your account, which will remove all of your posts from the website. But, you should remember that deactivating your Facebook account won&#8217;t completely remove all of your data. The best way to do this is to download your data from the Facebook website before you decide to permanently delete it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cancelling_the_deactivation\"><\/span>Cancelling the deactivation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Cancelling the deactivation of Facebook account on iPhone is relatively easy. Just go into the Settings menu and select the deactivation option. You can also choose to delete the app and then log in again. Once the 30 days have passed, the deletion will be final. However, you can still keep your data in case privacy concerns arise. To do this, go to the Facebook app and select the menu icon in the bottom right corner. Select Account Ownership and Control. Choose the deactivation option. Then, choose whether or not you want to archive your posts or download the data before deletion.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t want to delete your account, just tap &#8220;Cancel Deactivation&#8221; again. After the deletion process has completed, you will receive an email saying that your account has been deactivated. This email can also be deleted, but you can still download your old information. However, it is possible that Facebook will continue to reject requests for deactivation. Therefore, it is recommended to download Facebook data prior to deactivation.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Options_for_reactivating_your_account\"><\/span>Options for reactivating your account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have accidentally deleted your Facebook account on your iPhone, you may have several options for reactivating your account. The first step is to log in to Facebook, using the same email address and password as when you first signed in. After logging in, follow the prompts to enter your password and email address. After that, you can use your iPhone to sign in as normal.<\/p>\n<p>Next, go to the Facebook app and click the hamburger menu icon at the top right corner. From here, choose &#8216;Settings &amp; Privacy&#8217;, then &#8216;Deactivation and Deletion&#8217;. Select &#8216;Continue&#8217; and enter your reason for deactivating your account. Then, you can select an automatic reactivation date. If you do not want to wait until the date you select to reactivate your account, you can also choose to delete your account.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Deactivate Facebook on iPhone If you&#8217;re thinking of permanently deleting your Facebook account, you should follow the steps below.
