Deleting an account, on the other hand, is set in stone. You will not be able to regain access once the account is deleted and everything associated with the user will be permanently removed. For this reason, Facebook delays deletion for a few days after the request is made, in case you change your mind. It can take up to 90 days after your account is removed for all of your data stored in Facebook's backup systems to be completely deleted.
To reactivate your account, just log in to the account online or use your Facebook account to log in to a third-party app. When you deactivate Facebook, it'll ask whether you want to stop using the instant messaging service too. Yes, you can use Messenger without having a Facebook account. Your messages won't vanish, even if you deactivate.
In fact, they won't vanish if you delete Facebook either: instead, they'll simply read "Facebook User". Deactivation won't erase everythingso what can you do? Deleting Facebook sounds like a solid option… except some data persists. It takes 30 days after you request account deletion for your profile to entirely vanish. This period gives you leeway in case you decide you don't want to permanently leave Facebook. However, it can take 90 days for the company to delete your data; no other parties can access your data in the time it takes to get rid of your account.
Your timeline will no longer exist. You'll automatically be taken off any pages you "like". You won't be a member of any groups. Your online persona will effectively disappear. However, that doesn't mean everything will be deleted. Some information will be kept, albeit stripped of personal identifiers.
You become a demographic. Facebook and its third-parties use those statistics. Your comments aren't deleted either. Think of them as flotsam and jetsam. Let's say you commented on a MakeUseOf Facebook post a few years agothat will still exist. Crucially, your log data a record of all you do, including times you log in and groups you frequent remains. Your name isn't attached to that data though. Essentially, this is the same thing that happens if you deactivate your account.
Your profile picture is replaced by the default icon. Normally, if you click on someone's name in the comments section, you'll be redirected to their timeline.
The link vanishes once you delete Facebook because there's nothing for it to lead to. It doesn't matter if you deactivate or delete Facebook; the same thing happens to any photos you're tagged in.
Deleting your account doesn't affect other people's. Tags will revert to Plain Text. The link to your profile will expire. Obviously, if you reactivate your account, these links including comments will become active again. What does this mean for your privacy? Post a status a few days before you plan on deleting your account, and ask that anyone who wants to keep in touch send a message with their contact info.
Facebook also gives you the option to transfer your photos, videos, notes and posts to other sites like Google Photos and Dropbox. Here's how to transfer Facebook data.
Third-party developers such as Spotify and DoorDash have long offered the option of using your Facebook account as a way to sign up and log in to their services.
It's convenient because it keeps you from having to remember yet another password. That is, until you don't have a Facebook account anymore. You'll need to address those outside accounts that rely on your Facebook info by logging in to each account and disconnecting it from your Facebook account.
Once that's done, request and download a copy of all your Facebook data by following these steps:. Finally, click Create File.
Facebook will then gather all of your information and send you an email when it's ready to be downloaded. It can take some time for this to happen -- it's not an instant process. The final step is to delete your account. To do so, visit this page and sign in.
But that doesn't mean comments you've made to others will disappear as well. Facebook is obsessed with memories. It likes to make you nostalgic, and remind you of just how long you've used social media. It's to build brand loyalty. That's why your comments won't vanish. Your name will appear as plain text since Facebook has removed the link to your account. Facebook will also replace your profile image with a default icon.
And of course, if you choose to reactivate your Facebook account, all of those posts will revert to normal. What happens if you delete Facebook permanently? Facebook will erase your data within three months, but there are no guarantees that it will clear every last bit of flotsam and jetsam—comments, reactions, and posts on others' timelines. What does a deactivated Facebook account look like? You won't be able to check their profile because links revert to plain text.
Posts they've made on your timeline will still exist but you will not be able to click on their name. If you're concerned that someone has been unusually quiet on Facebook, there are three options to consider.
The first is that they're simply busy. Try messaging them to ask if they're okay. Look through your list of friends. If they're still listed, they're probably just preoccupied. If they're not, the second possibility is that they've blocked you. But before you investigate that, question whether they've deleted their account completely. So how do you know if someone has blocked you on Facebook or deactivated their account? Go to a mutual friend's profile and check whether it shows the person in question.
If their name is searchable, the profile still exists. Sadly, though, that probably means they blocked you. Check on Messenger; there could be a technical issue.
You can't send a message to someone who has blocked you, and their profile picture will be replaced on any comments they've previously posted on your timeline.
You might worry that by deactivating Facebook, you won't be able to use the separate but nonetheless connected Messenger app. They're both owned by the same company and mine the same contact list.
