Have you tried Facebook and found it just wasn’t for you? Maybe you are concerned about your privacy and no longer want an account? Or do you feel you’re become a Facebook addict and want to take a break?
There are many reasons that you may want to stop using your Facebook, but did you know that you have the option to either deactivate or delete your account? Let’s explore the differences between the two.
When you deactivate your Facebook account, all of your information (photos, wall posts, friends) vanish instantly. Your friends cannot view your profile, and strangers cannot search for you. Friends can still tag you in images, and invite you to events, however. Deactivation is a temporary action, because Facebook saves your profile exactly as it is when you deactivate. If you choose to reactivate your account, your profile will re-appear just as you left it.
To deactivate your account, select Account followed by Account Settings from the Facebook menu.
Next, on the left hand side, select the Security tab.
Click Deactivate my account.
When you scroll down, you will see that Facebook requires you to choose a reason for deactivation, and also allows you to opt out of its emails. Click Confirm and enter your password, and the process is complete!
To reactivate your account, simply log in using your email address and password. It’s that easy!
