how to deactivate my facebook account

Deactivating your Facebook account is a temporary measure that allows you to take a break from the platform without permanently deleting your profile. Here's how to deactivate your account on both a web browser and the Facebook app:

On a Web Browser:

1. Log in to your Facebook account.
2. Click the downward arrow on the top right corner and select "Settings & privacy" from the menu.
3. In the "Settings" menu, click "Your Facebook Information".
4. Under "Account ownership and control", select "Deactivation and deletion".
5. Choose "Deactivate account" and follow the on-screen instructions. You'll be asked to enter your password to confirm.

On the Facebook App:

1. Open the Facebook app and tap the three horizontal lines on the bottom right corner (Android) or top right corner (iPhone).
2. Scroll down and tap "Settings & Privacy" followed by "Settings".
3. Tap "Account Center" and then "See more" at the bottom.
4. Under "Account settings", select "Personal Details" and then "Account ownership and control".
5. Choose "Deactivation or deletion" and select "Deactivate account". Confirm by entering your password.

Important things to remember:

• Deactivating your account hides your profile from others, but your information is still stored by Facebook.
• You can reactivate your account at any time by logging back in.
• Deactivating your account won't remove your information from apps or websites that use Facebook Login.

I hope this helps!
