We&#8217;ll show you how to permanently delete your account, Temporarily pause your account, and Download a copy of your data before you delete it. Delete your account with confidence! And remember to log out of your current Facebook account first! This way, no one will be able to access your information.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_long_does_it_take_to_deactivate_a_Facebook_account\"><\/span>How long does it take to deactivate a Facebook account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve lost or misplaced your iPhone, don&#8217;t worry! You can reactivate your Facebook account at any time. Deactivating your account means that you won&#8217;t have access to your profile, but you&#8217;ll still have access to your friends list. And, if you&#8217;d like to come back and see what&#8217;s changed in your life, you can always reactivate your account with the same email address and password.<\/p>\n<p>The process to deactivate your Facebook account varies, but the time varies according to the frequency with which you log in. People who log into Facebook multiple times a day will take longer than those who log in only a few times a year. If you&#8217;re unable to log into Facebook for at least 90 days, it may take even longer. In this case, you&#8217;ll need to contact Facebook support to request a new password.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Deletes_all_data\"><\/span>Deletes all data<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>How to remove Facebook on iPhone? This is the most popular question that iPhone users have. But it&#8217;s not as difficult as it seems. If you are able to delete the application, you can restore it by visiting the App Store and choosing the &#8220;Updates&#8221; or &#8220;Purchased&#8221; tabs. Scroll down to the &#8220;Facebook&#8221; app and touch the install button next to it. However, the settings you have made in the app won&#8217;t be retained when you do this.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook has a feature that lets you bulk delete certain items in the &#8220;Your Posts&#8221; category. This feature will also remove any images or videos that you&#8217;ve posted and shared. If you want to delete all your posts, you should first go to the &#8220;Your Posts&#8221; category and select the pencil icon. Click on &#8220;All&#8221; to select all items in that section. Then select the posts you want to delete.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Downloads_a_copy_of_your_data_before_you_delete_a_Facebook_account\"><\/span>Downloads a copy of your data before you delete a Facebook account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before you delete your Facebook account, it is essential to download a copy of all of the data on it. This copy contains your Facebook history, photos and videos, messages, and even your friends list. To download your data, navigate to Settings in your iPhone and select the option to &#8220;Download your information.&#8221; After selecting the files, Facebook will begin to create the copy for you. Once the download is complete, you can delete the account.<\/p>\n<p>The process will take several days, depending on the amount of data on your phone. When the process is complete, you will have a backup of your data. You can choose to download all data, selected parts, or date ranges, or create a new account. Once you&#8217;ve selected the data, click &#8220;Create File,&#8221; then wait for it to download. After the process has finished, you will receive a notification. Then, reenter your password and your data will be available in your Dropbox account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Temporarily_pause_or_permanently_delete_a_Facebook_account\"><\/span>Temporarily pause or permanently delete a Facebook account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Delete Facebook on iPhone isn&#8217;t as easy as deactivating it. While deleting the account will remove its link to your phone, it won&#8217;t stop Facebook from tracking your online activities. To truly separate yourself from the social networking giant, you need to delete your account. This will also cut off all ties to Instagram and Messenger, which are owned by Facebook. However, this process can take a considerable amount of time.<\/p>\n<p>The only downside to permanently deleting your Facebook account is that you won&#8217;t be able to use your Facebook login for any other apps. You&#8217;ll have to contact the respective apps to get your account back. Also, if you permanently delete your account, your deleted messages may still be visible to friends as they&#8217;re stored in their inboxes. You can temporarily pause or permanently delete a Facebook account on iPhone using this method.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"498\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zU0M-we3zsc\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"278\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Delete a Facebook Account on iPhone If you are wondering how to delete a Facebook account on your iPhone, you&#8217;ve come to the right place.
