To do so, open the Facebook Messenger app on your Android or iOS device. Scroll to the bottom to find your profile image and legal and policies information. Click to deactivate Messenger, and your main Facebook account will be reactivated, too. You&#8217;ll be prompted to accept Facebook&#8217;s terms and conditions.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disabling_Facebook_Messenger_can_lead_to_deactivation_of_facebook_messenger\"><\/span>Disabling Facebook Messenger can lead to deactivation of facebook messenger<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Businesses can disable Facebook Messenger temporarily to accommodate vacations or schedule changes. While deactivating Messenger, customers will be unable to send messages through the platform. Businesses can reactivate Messenger once employees are back. By limiting the number of channels for messages, they can simplify their marketing strategy and customer service. It can be time-consuming to manage multiple channels for message sending. Disabling Facebook Messenger can also prevent your business from receiving negative reviews and comments from customers and potential competitors.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook Messenger is separate from your account. Disabling your account will not automatically deactivate Messenger. People can still see your status even if you deactivate your account. Besides, you can still see people on Messenger if you have unlisted them in your friend list. This way, you can still view them. And if you are concerned about your privacy, you can opt-out of Messenger.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook recently updated the interface of its Messenger service. This change made some actions difficult or impossible. As a result, users often try to delete the Messenger app by uninstalling it. However, this may not deactivate Messenger since users are attempting to delete it, not deactivate it. And when users reinstall Messenger, they are bombarded with messages again. In such a scenario, deactivating the Facebook account is the only way to permanently stop Messenger from sending messages.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reactivating_facebook_messenger_will_also_reactivate_your_main_Facebook_account\"><\/span>Reactivating facebook messenger will also reactivate your main Facebook account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Reactivating Facebook Messenger will reactivate your main Facebook account as well, so you can&#8217;t just use it to contact friends. Reactivating Messenger will automatically reactivate your main Facebook account, which means that if you delete your Facebook account, you&#8217;ll lose access to Messenger. This is a problem that can be resolved easily. Just follow these instructions to reactivate Messenger.<\/p>\n<p>To reactivate Facebook Messenger, log into your main Facebook account and click the menu option that says &#8220;chats.&#8221; You can see your history, chats, and legal &amp; policies. You can also sign up to receive a daily digest of new features and changes from Facebook. In order to deactivate Facebook Messenger, you must agree to the terms and conditions of the site, which is available in the Terms and Policies section of Messenger.<\/p>\n<p>To reactivate Facebook Messenger, go to Facebook.com and follow the instructions. When you deactivate Messenger, all of your old messages and posts will be lost. If you don&#8217;t have ID photos, you can take photos with your phone or webcam. If you don&#8217;t have any ID photos, you can also upload a photo of your ID. After you have uploaded your ID photos, you can proceed to reactivate your main Facebook account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reasons_to_deactivate_facebook_messenger\"><\/span>Reasons to deactivate facebook messenger<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t want to receive endless messages from people you don&#8217;t know, you can deactivate Facebook Messenger.
