Feeling overwhelmed by endless scrolling? Considering a digital detox? Deactivating your Facebook account might be the perfect first step. Don't worry, it's not permanent! Deactivation allows you to temporarily step away from the platform without permanently deleting your profile. Your photos, friends, and information are all safely stored and ready for your return.
So, how do you actually deactivate? It's surprisingly simple. First, click the downward-facing arrow in the top right corner of Facebook. Then, navigate to 'Settings & Privacy' and then 'Settings'. From there, select 'Your Facebook Information' and then 'Deactivation and Deletion'. Choose 'Deactivate Account' and click 'Continue to Account Deactivation'. Facebook will present you with a few options, including unsubscribing from emails. After making your selections, confirm your deactivation. That's it! You're now free from the Facebook feed. Remember, you can reactivate your account anytime by simply logging back in.
