They make it hard to find because they dont want you to deactivate or remove your account

[@saudades1966esmeralda]

I’ve been going nuts for the past few days to deactivate my account. You made it so easy. Thank you

Is deactivating your account like not having the account anymore until you come back on?

[@Strega4646]

Cant find anything under Account settinfs except the option to log out my profile

[@Drullovich]

Facebook just sucks!

[@markjohnalfonso736]

Facebook became more and more inefficient.

[@mustbemeech]

I’m seriously concerned

[@TheKristenMC]

Fire tutorial, no intro just straight into it Really nice vid

[@Baka_Hannibal]

Sheesh, I deactivated my account a month ago. Accidentally re-activated it by logging in to a mobile game that I haven't played in months(So slick and sneaky on Facebook and the creators of the game part, lol.) Next thing you know I'm getting all kinds of notifications. So I went back to Facebook to deactivate again and realized they completely changed the way you have to do so. 😢😢

[@Jazzzzzy007]

You can tell they want to ruin people because they make this nearly impossible to do! 😡

[@3D_OfficialTv]

facebook is a P O S for making it hard

[@libraladynior2249]

Ok I do not see a deactivate option menu gear icon then search deactivate nothing pops up saying deactivate option

[@TammyMazzola-sc8dq]

[@annamorrow7504]

Can people see your account once it’s deactivated?

[@Animefanboy-o6h]

[@mohansofalas4418]

I unable to send message to a friend. But he has not blocked me.but when i try to send message with a orange letters it says "unable to send".what does it mean?also i am unable to see that person profile in fb

[@TrevorNace]

It is possible that your friend has deactivated their Facebook account. Let me know if you have further questions.

[@MaheeshiDevanarayana-y9e]

Will temporarily deactivating help in case of logging from a new device when 2 factor authentification code is not available and none of the other recovery options available?

[@TrevorNace]

Temporarily deactivating your Facebook account won't directly help with logging in from a new device if you can't access your two-factor authentication code. It’s important to try to recover access to your account through Facebook’s recovery options first. If none of the recovery options are available, you might need to contact Facebook Support for assistance. They can help guide you through the process.

[@carolinecaldwell4607]

I have 2 Facebook accounts, one has been hacked. What do I do.

[@TrevorNace]

First, try to regain access by going to the Facebook login page and clicking on "Forgotten password?" to reset it. If that doesn’t work, visit the Facebook Help Center for guidance on reporting a hacked account. Also, consider changing its password and enabling two-factor authentication. Please let me know if you need more help!

[@Gurmeet_Maan]

thanku for the help.

Glad to help you! Thank you for watching! 🙏
