Go to Settings & Privacy, then click Settings.Open the Facebook website and log in to your account.Here’s how to deactivate your Facebook account but keep using Messenger: If you stay opted in, you can effectively delete your Facebook but keep Messenger. If you opt out, you won’t be able to keep using Messenger. Near the end of the process, Facebook will ask if you want to opt out of receiving messages on Messenger. If you decide to deactivate your account, there’s one important step to remember. Once deactivated, your profile and bio will be hidden from both friends and the public, but you won’t lose access to your past posts or friends list. Thankfully, the Facebook team has made it simple to deactivate your account, which is sort of like a safer way to delete it temporarily. Besides, some users may feel massive regret if they delete their account and can’t get it back. Facebook really, really doesn’t want you to delete your account permanently, even if you aren’t fond of the new terms of service changes.
If you’re wondering why your Messenger experience feels a bit too simple lately, this is why.The process can be a little complex. It’s strange that Facebook would launch an updated version of Messenger without making room for some of these useful features, now missing, but there you have it. I noticed that some of these-polls, specifically-are missing from all versions of Messenger, whether you’re accessing it via the web or an app on any platform. Otherwise, I honestly have no idea how you would go about deactivating Messenger at this point if you’re only deactivating, not deleting, your Facebook account.Īs for the rest of the features that you won’t be able to access as a result of Facebook’s changes, the company has published a list that includes:Ĭamera tools (example: text, boomerang and editing tools)
At the very least, you could also just remove the app from your device-the out-of-sight, out-of-mind technique-or turn off any and all notifications from Messenger in case you ever think you’ll use it again (whether you reactivate your Facebook account or not).
