If you are using an iOS device, open the Facebook app and go to the Account Ownership and Control section. Choose Deactivate Account, then continue to deactivation. You may be prompted to enter your password, but do not worry &#8211; entering this will only suspend your account for a period of time. You will also be asked to enter a reason for deactivation.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cancel_deactivation\"><\/span>Cancel deactivation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re thinking of deleting your Facebook account, you can always go back and reverse the process. However, deleting an account doesn&#8217;t remove your name from friends&#8217; lists &#8211; you can still see and contact your friends &#8211; but you won&#8217;t be able to see their updates or messages. If you want to keep your Facebook account, you must cancel it within 30 days. After 90 days, Facebook will delete it unless you choose to reactivate it.<\/p>\n<p>You can also choose to transfer your data to another service instead. This will prevent other people from accessing your information, but you may want to keep your photos and other data elsewhere. You can also move your data to Google Photos, Google Docs, Dropbox, Koofr, or Dropbox. Once you&#8217;ve deactivated your Facebook account, you will no longer be able to access your personal data from the service.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook can be a useful tool for staying in touch with friends and family, but it can also be a distraction. There are some questionable ad practices, as well as quizzes about Game of Thrones characters. That&#8217;s why you might want to deactivate your account if you&#8217;re not enjoying these features anymore. So, how do you do it? Follow these simple steps:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cancel_deletion\"><\/span>Cancel deletion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You may be wondering how to cancel deletion of Facebook account. The good news is that you still have 30 days to do so. This means you have a few more days to download all your information before it is forever lost. If you choose to delete your account, be aware that no one can see it during this time. Facebook will also keep a few of your information on its backup servers for legal reasons. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s vital to download a copy of all your information before you delete it.<\/p>\n<p>First, go to Settings. Scroll down to &#8220;Deactivate your account.&#8221; At the bottom of the page, click &#8220;Cancel Deactivation.&#8221; You&#8217;ll be asked to provide a reason for deactivating your account. You can choose to keep using Messenger until you make a decision about your future at Facebook. You will have one final opportunity to download all your data before deletion. Then, follow the instructions.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have confirmed deletion of your account, you&#8217;ll need to log in with your email address and password to restore your account. In some cases, this can be done by deleting any connected apps. However, you should note that the deletion process may take 90 days to complete. So, it&#8217;s better to save any information you want to keep on your Facebook account before deleting it permanently. Facebook also owns apps like Instagram and WhatsApp, so it&#8217;s crucial to download all your information before deleting it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Temporarily_deactivate_account\"><\/span>Temporarily deactivate account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to take a break from Facebook, you can choose to temporarily deactivate your account. Deactivation is a handy way to take a break and not worry about posting something on Facebook. While posts aren&#8217;t visible to others, messages remain visible to you and those who&#8217;ve messaged you. These posts will reappear after you reactivate your account.<\/p>\n<p>You will still be able to see your status updates and messages, but you will no longer be able to see your profile picture, send or receive messages, and access your friends&#8217; lists. But don&#8217;t worry &#8211; your posts, images, and videos are safe if you reactivate your account. You can even search for a deleted Facebook account if you&#8217;re worried that it might be lost.<\/p>\n<p>There are several ways to temporarily deactivate Facebook, but first, you must know how to use the deactivation tools on Facebook. The deactivation tool lets you select the deactivation option that best meets your needs. Follow the instructions carefully to complete your deactivation. Once you&#8217;re finished, you can choose to permanently delete your account. Regardless of the reason, it&#8217;s important to choose the right option.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Suspend a Facebook Account To suspend your Facebook account, follow the steps below.
