How Can I deactivate My Facebook Account – 2017: If you are looking for the best and quickest way to deactivate your Facebook account in 2017, then read this article to the end and check out the useful video in it. You’ll be amazed at how quick and easy it is to deactivate a Facebook account. Don’t be afraid, this guide uses the updated Facebook 2017 settings to show you how to go about deactivating your Facebook profile from the net.

Hold up!!! 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, our direction of thinking may be biased.
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 it is actually true.

You hardly keep in touch, no visitations, no hanging out, just you and your device.

That’s it 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 account, you can always reactivate it. Also, no one will be able to connect with you through out the deactivation period – no one will see your activities, profile and etc.

If deactivating Facebook is not you want and you want to delete your account permanently, then take a look at our recent post: How to Permanently Delete a Facebook Account On Android Device
