In this tutorial, I'm going to show you
0:01
how you can deactivate your Facebook
0:03
account. So, you may want to deactivate
0:05
your Facebook account if you just want
0:07
to take off or to break off from social
0:09
media and pull your account down so that
0:12
no one can find you on Facebook, but you
0:14
can again deactivate it later if you
0:16
want to come back. So, if you find this
0:18
video helpful, I'll kindly request that
0:19
you support me by liking this video and
0:22
also by subscribing to this channel. So,
0:24
let's get into it. To do this, it is
0:26
quite simple. Just head over to your
0:28
profile icon on top here and then tap on
0:31
it to open the menu. Under the menu, tap
0:34
on this settings icon that is on top
0:38
here. And then you'll get to this page
0:41
called meta account center. Go ahead and
0:43
tap on it. Under this, go under account
0:47
settings and look for the option called
0:51
details. If you tap on this, you'll be
0:53
able to see your personal details here.
0:55
And below it you can see we have this
0:57
option called account ownership and
1:00
control. This helps you to manage and
1:02
control your accounts and profiles. So
1:06
it. Now under account ownership and
1:09
control you can see we have this last
1:11
option called deactivation and deletion.
1:13
And we trled under this we can
1:15
temporarily deactivate or permanently
1:17
delete your account. So if we tap on
1:21
it, go ahead and choose the account that
1:24
you want to deactivate. For my case, I
1:26
want to deactivate this first
1:29
account. And now this will give us two
1:31
options. The first option is to
1:33
deactivate account. And the second
1:35
option is to delete account. Now since
1:38
we don't want to delete the account
1:40
because if we delete the account, we
1:41
can't recover the account. We only want
1:43
to deactivate the account. So that
1:45
should you want to activate it again,
1:47
you can simply activate it again and log
1:50
into your profile and you'll find
1:51
everything intact. So we are told here
1:54
that deactivating account is temporary.
1:56
Your account and main profile will be
1:58
deactivated and your name and photos
2:01
will be removed from most things you
2:03
have shared. However, we are told you'll
2:06
be able to continue using Messenger. So
2:09
if you're okay with this, go ahead and
2:12
continue. And you can read more
2:14
information here. Deactivating your
2:16
account will also deactivate your other
2:19
your other additional Facebook profiles
2:21
as well as pages where you are the only
2:24
admin or person with full control. To
2:27
keep your page active, assign another
2:29
admin or give someone else full control
2:33
in your page settings. So you can comply
2:35
to that if you have other pages and
2:38
admin issues. And as you can see, I have
2:41
here a page. That's why I'm also getting
2:43
that information to notify me the same
2:45
because I have this page. This page will
2:47
also be deactivated because it is
2:49
associated with this account. So I'm
2:51
okay with it. So I'll go ahead and tap
2:56
continue. And now you have to enter your
3:00
password and then tap on
3:03
continue. And then here you have to
3:05
choose a reason. And my reason is just
3:07
this is temporary. I'll be back. So you
3:09
can choose any of these. If your account
3:11
was hacked, you can also select this.
3:13
This information will be very much
3:15
helpful to Facebook. So mine is
3:17
temporary. So I'll go ahead and tap on
3:21
continue. And now I can go ahead and
3:23
select the number of days. Now for my
3:25
case, I don't want to choose the days
3:27
I'll be off. I want to do it manually.
3:30
So I'll go ahead and choose the last
3:31
option. Don't reactivate automatically.
3:34
So I'll go ahead and tap on this so that
3:36
I only reactivate it whenever I want.
3:39
Once you're done, go ahead and tap on
3:46
continue. So this is the last process.
3:49
You have to confirm the temporary
3:51
account deactivation. So I'll tap on
3:54
deactivate my account and this will go
3:56
ahead and deactivate the
4:00
account. And now that is done. I'm
4:03
logged out, meaning um I have been
4:06
deactivated. So that's how you
4:08
deactivate your account on Facebook.
4:10
Now, should you want to activate your
4:12
account, I've left a link below showing
4:14
a step-by-step process on how you can
4:16
reactivate your Facebook account. Again,
4:18

4:20
