It is being said that we have already entered into the future of technology and social connection, i.e., the ‘Metaverse’. However, as social media is becoming more and more advanced with each passing day, the advancement of social media addiction within society is also following along, but at an even greater pace. According to a study report by Influencer Marketing Hub, an estimated 330 million people are likely to suffer from internet addiction in 2022. The issue, even though being so serious, is hardly given the benefit of a doubt today. Hence, if you ever decide to take a step to improve your digital well being and say goodbye to your anxiety levels and FOMO (fear of missing out), you can start by simply deleting your Facebook account. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to delete your Facebook account on PC or on your mobile in 2022. 

What Happens Upon Permanently Deleting A Facebook Account?

If you choose to permanently delete your Facebook account, you won’t be able to reactivate it. All of your profile data, including your posts, photos and videos uploaded will get deleted permanently. You would no longer be able to use Facebook Messenger or log in to other websites and apps via Facebook. Moreover, any pages that are controlled by you solely will also get deleted. In case you don’t want your page to get deleted, you can give someone else full control of your page. 

However, if you don’t feel like deleting your FB account permanently, you can instead take a break from Facebook and temporarily deactivate your account. When you temporarily deactivate your account, your profile data including the posts, images or videos that you uploaded won’t get deleted. You will still be able to use Facebook Messenger. However, people won’t be able to see or go to your Facebook profile and the pages that you control will also get deactivated. You can come back any time you want.
