Deactivating a Facebook account is similar to quitting
Facebook but without deleting your account permanently. It hides your all information. Your name and pictures will be removed from
the most of the things you've shared on Facebook. People can’t search you on
Facebook. But still your name and messages will be visible to others. And you
can also re-activate your account whenever you want to.
Following are simple steps to “Deactivate” a Facebook
Account:
- Look for the setting button (It’s a symbol like
a Gear.) You will find it on the top right corner of your Facebook Page. (As
shown in the image below.) Click on this button.
- Select “Account Settings”.
- Now click on the “Security” on left side of the page.
- At the end of the provided security settings, you’ll
find a “Deactivate your account” Link. Click on that link.
- Now you’ll see some of your friends with their
profile pictures who will miss you. (Maybe it's a try by Facebook to stop you from deactivating you account.)
- After that you’ll have to give a reason for deactivating your account. You can also explain it briefly in the given space as shown in the image below.
- Now there’s a Check-Box for “Email opt out”. If
you don’t select this Check-Box, your friends can still send you invitations for
any event, can tag you on photos and can ask you to like the pages. But, if you
tick the Check-Box you’ll not receive any notifications and invitations.
- Now the next option is “Delete Applications”.
Selecting this option will delete all pages, of which you’re the only admin. If
you don’t want to delete those pages, then you have to give the ownership of
the page to someone else.
- Click on Confirm.
Your Facebook Account id Deactivated.
