Facebook has become an integral part of everyone’s lives due to the phenomenon called social networking. One can argue that the biggest thing to happen to social media and social networking is Facebook, and they would be right. Whats more is that the company has cemented its feet into the social scene further after the recent acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp, making it also one of the most rounded out platforms on the internet and a content creator’s paradise.
If you want to take a break from social media, then Facebook has the right solution for you. You see, there are two alternatives you can exercise.
- Deactivate the Account
- Delete the Account
If you choose to delete the account, then Facebook does just that. Your username is gone, the media is gone, saved pages and content, everything is basically wiped out, so when you decide to come back to social media after your break, you have to essentially start from scratch.
The other more mild solution is to deactivate the account. This puts your account on temporary hold, and when you decide to end your hiatus from social media, all you have to do is log back into your account, and you are set.
In this tutorial, we will show you how to deactivate a Facebook account.
