How to Deactivate Your Facebook Account - 2017 : Who lied to you that you cannot deactivate your Facebook temporarily or better still delete your Facebook account permanently? Even though we agree that Facebook is hard to delete, we may be biased by thinking so without following the right steps. Facebook can be deleted, hence, the reason for this latest Facebook article.

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 account, you can always reactivate it back and no one will 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 can i delete my Facebook account permanently?
