What happens when you deactivate messenger

Using social media can be enjoyable, but it can also become overwhelming and distract from real life.

Taking a break is often beneficial. When you decide to pause your Facebook use, deactivating your account is easy, and you can reactivate it anytime by logging back in. However, deactivating Facebook doesn't automatically deactivate Messenger, which means people can still contact you, potentially interrupting your social media break.

To fully disconnect, you'll need to deactivate Messenger separately, but remember, you must deactivate your Facebook account first.

If you're unsure how to deactivate your Facebook account, here are some simple steps to follow:

Deactivate your Facebook Account

From the Facebook app, tap on the hamburger menu icon (three horizontal lines) situated on the top right corner of your screen.

Next, scroll down and tap on the ‘Settings & Privacy’ option.

Then, tap on the ‘Settings’ option.

After that, tap on the ‘Account Ownership and Control’ option present on the screen.

Now, tap
