Click on the Menu icon at the bottom of the screen. Go to Settings &amp; Privacy. Scroll down and select Account Ownership and Control. Tap on Delete Account. You can also archive your posts, download data, or both before deactivating your Facebook account. In case you are worried about privacy, you can also block Facebook tracking. Once you&#8217;ve done so, you can delete your account permanently.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_permanently_delete_Facebook_account_on_mobile_device\"><\/span>How to permanently delete Facebook account on mobile device<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have decided to delete your Facebook account, you may be wondering how to remove the content from it. Facebook stores log data and user-generated content for a long time. If you want to delete all your information, you should download it before deleting your Facebook account. But before you do that, there are some things you should know. This will help you keep the information safe. Read on to learn more.<\/p>\n<p>First, you need to retrieve the old password for your Facebook account. You can do this by entering your email or mobile number into the search field provided. After you&#8217;ve entered the correct email or mobile number, you&#8217;ll be offered a password reset code via SMS. You can also try another text or audio captcha link to retrieve your information. This will take around 14 days before your account is completely deleted.<\/p>\n<p>To do this, you need to be logged in to your Facebook account. From there, you&#8217;ll need to go to Settings &gt; Privacy&gt; Your Facebook Information. Once you&#8217;re there, click on View. Next, click on Download Info to download your Facebook data. Make sure to deselect all information you don&#8217;t want saved. This will ensure that all your information is safe and secure. You&#8217;ll need to follow the prompts on the screen to confirm the deletion.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve completed all this, you&#8217;ll need to download your data from Facebook. This can take a while, so be sure to download the file before it expires. Next, visit the Facebook website. Click the arrow in the top right corner and select the option that says &#8220;Permanently delete my account.&#8221; After you&#8217;ve completed this, click Continue to delete your Facebook account. If you&#8217;re still not happy with your data deletion, you can cancel the process and restore it later.<\/p>\n<p>Deactivating your Facebook account doesn&#8217;t remove all your information, but it does stop Facebook from tracking your online activity. Deactivating your account means cutting ties with Facebook Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp. However, this method can be time-consuming and may not be right for you. But if you&#8217;re serious about deleting your Facebook account, this will help you do so quickly. So, what are you waiting for?<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Requirements_to_permanently_delete_Facebook_account_on_mobile_device\"><\/span>Requirements to permanently delete Facebook account on mobile device<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not happy with the privacy and security of your Facebook account, you may want to permanently delete it. While it&#8217;s easy to deactivate your account, you&#8217;ll lose all of your friends and posts. You can also deactivate it by using the mobile app. But beware: permanently deleting your Facebook account may not be as simple as you think. There are some requirements you must meet before you can delete your account permanently.<\/p>\n<p>To permanently delete your Facebook account, you must log into your Facebook account and go to Settings. Next, go to Privacy. Click on Your Facebook Information. Click &#8220;View&#8221; and then &#8220;Download Info.&#8221; If you&#8217;d like to save all the information that you&#8217;ve uploaded to Facebook, click on the option to download the information. Then, follow the prompts and complete the process. You&#8217;ll be asked to enter your password to sign in again, and then you&#8217;ll need to confirm your identity.<\/p>\n<p>After you&#8217;ve verified that you&#8217;re using a mobile device to log in to Facebook, you must choose your security settings. To do so, you must allow Facebook to access your location. Once you&#8217;ve done this, tap the Lock icon on your device. After this, tap on &#8220;Account Ownership and Control&#8221; to confirm the deletion. You&#8217;ll be asked to confirm the deletion request within 30 days. It may take up to 90 days before the deletion process completes. Once deleted, your account can be restored if you log in within 30 days.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been unable to access your Facebook account because you&#8217;re disabled or mentally incapable of using it, you can request its deletion. Facebook has a form to fill out, and you&#8217;ll need to prove your guardianship over the person who has the account in question. You&#8217;ll also need to provide an official note of incapacity. You&#8217;ll also need to redact all personal information that identifies you.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"496\" height=\"277\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/o8xe40rmDv0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do I Permanently Delete My Facebook Account on Mobile?
