I tried this a few days ago and couldn't get it to work, it just took me back to the main messenger app. It is.Ĭlick profile Icon > Legal and policies > deactivate The location mentioned in the quora thread worked. Ok, I solved my own issue while going through this but it may help others since it seems the option is not where FBs own documentation says it is. I found this quora thread (sorry) that mentions another location. delete your account and information (permanent option) From this page: under Account ownership and control. I've got Facebook successfully deactivated, but now when I go to where they say to disable messenger from app there is no option. I've done this before by first deactivating facebook, then following their steps in messenger. If there’re are any other issues related to deactivation or deletion of your Messenger or Facebook profile, feel free to share them with the community.I am trying to deactivate (not delete) Facebook and Messenger in such a way that my profile photo is shown grayed out and I cannot be messaged.
So now that you’ve decided to call it quits on the Facebook ecosystem, are you feeling satisfied? We’ll always recommend you deactivate your account rather than delete it because that way, you have a chance to see if you like life without Facebook or Messenger. So, if you want to deactivate Facebook and keep Messenger, you’ll have to deactivate Facebook a second time. Also, reactivating Messenger will automatically reactivate your Facebook account as well. In other words, no one will be able to access or even see your profile in the app or send you messages, including existing conversations. Your profile goes dormant when you deactivate it. What Happens When You Deactivate Messenger? But remember, while there’s a way back from deactivation, we can’t say the same of deletion. However, if you’re completely sure you don’t want to access any of your data or contacts at a later time, you might want to delete your account. If you want to stay dormant but believe that you might get back on the social media platform at a later time, it’s better to deactivate. Deletion and deactivation are two different things, and they mean two different things for your privacy. Should I Deactivate Facebook or Delete It?
