Need a Facebook Break? Here's How to Disable Your Account (Without Deleting!)

Feeling overwhelmed by endless scrolling and political debates? Sometimes a digital detox is exactly what you need. If you're thinking of stepping away from Facebook, you might be considering deleting your account altogether. But wait! There's a less drastic option: disabling it.

Disabling your Facebook account is like putting it on pause. Your profile disappears from public view, and people can't search for you. However, Facebook saves your data, so you can reactivate your account anytime you want.

Here's how to do it:

1. **Click the arrow in the top right corner of Facebook.**
2. **Go to Settings & Privacy, then click Settings.**
3. **Click Your Facebook Information in the left column.**
4. **Click Deactivation and Deletion.**
5. **Choose 'Deactivate Account' and click Continue to Account Deactivation.**
6. **Follow the on-screen instructions to confirm your decision.**

Remember, you can reactivate your account simply by logging back in. Enjoy your break from Facebook!
