Thinking of taking a break from Facebook but not wanting to start from scratch? Facebook allows you to deactivate your account. So you can take a volume and choose from where you left off at a later date. Here’s how it works.
How Is Deactivating Different from Deleting?
When you delete your Facebook account, you’re leaving your profile, posts, friends, and messages. This means you have to start from scratch if you ever want to use the service again. This can’t be a bad option if you’ve had a negative experience and don’t intend to return.
But for many, reciprocating years’ worth losing and keeping track of friends down is something to keep in mind. This is where the inactive option of your account comes in.
When you deactivate your account, people won’t find you or see you in your time. Updates, newsfeeds will not appear even if some data is visible. The message, you have sent to other Facebook users. No one will be notified in your absence. Your Facebook friends, it may seem that you have deleted your account.
This service is perfect for anyone who wants to get away from Facebook after coming back with a bit-off option. If I know you will be away from the service for an extended period, you can deactivate it. Maybe Facebook is eating into your productive hours and you want to get away with asking for a bit of restrictions.
