how to deactivate Facebook on your phone in 2023

Here are some facts and tips on how to deactivate Facebook on your phone in 2023

- Deactivating your Facebook account is different from deleting it. When you deactivate your account, you can reactivate it whenever you want, and people can't see your timeline or search for you. When you delete your account, you can't regain access once it's deleted, and some information may remain visible to others (such as messages you sent).

- To deactivate your Facebook account on your phone, you need to open the Facebook app and go to the settings menu. Depending on your device, the steps may vary slightly, but they are generally similar. Here are some examples for Android, iOS, and web browsers:

    Android

Tap the three horizontal lines icon at the top right of the app, then scroll down to Settings & Privacy. Tap Settings, then Personal and Account Information. Tap Account Ownership and Control, then Deactivation and Deletion. Choose Deactivate Account, then follow the instructions to confirm.  

    iOS

Tap your profile picture at the bottom right of the app, then tap Settings & Privacy. Tap Settings, then Access and Control. Tap Deactivation and Deletion, then Deactivate Account. Follow the instructions to confirm.

    Web browser

Tap your profile picture at the top right of the app, then tap Settings & Privacy. Tap Settings, then Your Facebook Information. Tap Deactivation and Deletion, then Deactivate Account. Follow the instructions to confirm.

    

• - If you want to reactivate your Facebook account, you just need to log back into your account with your email or phone number and password. You can also use your Facebook account to log in to other apps or websites that you've linked with it.

• - If you want to delete your Facebook account permanently, you need to follow the same steps as deactivating it, but choose Delete Account instead of Deactivate Account. You'll have 30 days to cancel the deletion request if you change your mind. After that, your account will be gone forever. 

• - Before you deactivate or delete your Facebook account, you may want to download a copy of your information from the site. You can do this by going to Settings > Your Facebook Information > Download Your Information. You can choose what data you want to download and the format of the file.

• - Deactivating or deleting your Facebook account may affect your Oculus products or information if you use them with your Facebook account. For example, if you delete your Facebook account, you'll also lose your Oculus app purchases and achievements. You may want to check the Oculus support page for more details before making any changes.
