It’s a difficult decision, as deleting Facebook is very much permanent and you will of course get rid of Messenger too. You’ll also need to reset the user name and password on any apps you use Facebook to log into. You’ll need to, of course, delete the Facebook app from your iPhone and revoke all app permissions. Just go to Settings and Privacy > Settings > Account Ownership and Control > Deactivation and Deletion > Delete Account.

If you’d rather use your iPhone to delete Facebook, that’s simple too. There is a 30 day “cooling off” period, so you can change your mind if you want.Īnd voila.


Once you’ve downloaded your data and you’re ready to delete your Facebook account, go to Settings & Privacy > Settings > Your Facebook Information > Deactivation and Deletion > Permanently Delete Account > Delete Account. Facebook has actually published a handy guide detailing how you can get your data before deleting your account.
