Deactivate Facebook profile from smartphone
Do you use Facebook mainly from smartphones? Then know that you can deactivate your profile directly from the social network application.
All you have to do is start Facebook, press the ad icon hamburger (the three horizontal lines), go to the menu with i quick links to privacy (at the bottom of the page) and select the item first Other settings and then that Protection.
At this point, "tap" on the link disable placed next to the item Account, type the password of your Facebook account in the form that is proposed to you and confirm the deactivation of your profile by pressing the button Continue.
If you use an Android terminal, after selecting the item disable you may be wondering why you are leaving Facebook. Then put the check mark next to the option that seems more correct to you (eg. This is a temporary measure. I'll be back), if any warnings appear on the screen, press Close, decide whether or not to receive emails from Facebook by activating or deactivating the option Do not receive emails from Facebook in the future and complete the deactivation procedure of your profile by pressing on disable.
In case of second thoughts, to reactivate your account, open the Facebook application and log in again. You will find everything in its place (messages, friends, photos, likes etc.) as if nothing ever happened.
