How to delete or deactivate a Facebook account- what’s the difference?

There are two different ways to get your Facebook account. The first is deactivating, which means:-

  •    People cannot see your Facebook Timeline, or search for you.
  •   Some information may remain visible.



But deleting your account is a much more important matter. If you delete your account then:-

1.Your profile, photos, posts, videos and everything else you’ve added will be permanently deleted. You won’t be able to retrieve anything you’ve added.

2.You will no longer be able to use Facebook Messenger.

3.You won’t be able to reactivate your account.
