How to Deactivate Facebook on Android? This post will show you how to delete your Facebook account temporarily on Android. More information is available on what happens to your account when you deactivate it. Disable your Facebook account for the time being.
What Happens When You Deactivate FB?
Deactivating your account disables your profile & removes your name and profile photo from the majority of your Facebook posts. Your friends will continue to see you on their friend list and in communications you have sent them. Reactivating the account returns everything to its previous state.
You can still use Messenger after deactivating your Facebook account (see the below instructions). Friends may also invite you to events, request that you join groups, and tag you in images. Unless you turn off alerts, Facebook will continue to send them to you.
