You’ll be amazed at how quick and easy it is to deactivate a Facebook account.
Don’t be afraid, it uses the updated Facebook 2018 settings to show you how to go about deactivating your Facebook profile from the net.
Steps required to deactivate your Facebook Account in 2018
Wait!! who says you cannot deactivate your Facebook temporarily or better still delete Facebook account permanently?
Even though we agree that Facebook is the easiest way to keep in touch with our loved ones, we may be biased by thinking in that direction.
I remember what a friend posted before he deleted his account and I quote “I once had a life until someone asked me to create a Facebook account” – It sounded funny but true. You hardly keep in touch, no visitation, no hang out, just you and your device.
That’s that on that so let’s see how to deactivate your Facebook account and take a break from this Facebook thing.
Note: When you deactivate your Facebook account, you can always reactivate it back and no one will connect with you throughout the deactivation period – no one will see your activities, profile and etc.
