When you deactivate your account, you're hiding all of your information on Facebook. No one will be able to contact you on Facebook or view the things you've shared, including your Timeline, status updates, and photos. If you decide that you'd like to return to Facebook, you'll still be able to reactivate your account and recover your old information. You can also delete your Facebook account from the same menu, or delete the app from your iPhone.
Once you've deactivated your Facebook account, you can reactivate it by logging back in. Visit Insider's Tech Reference library for more stories. William Antonelli is a writer and editor based in New York City.

Deal icon An icon in the shape of a lightning bolt. Facebook saves all your information friends, posts, photos, interests in case you choose to reactive in the future. Deleting an account, on the other hand, is set in stone. You will not be able to regain access once the account is deleted and everything associated with the user will be permanently removed.
For this reason, Facebook delays deletion for a few days after the request is made, in case you change your mind. It can take up to 90 days after your account is removed for all of your data stored in Facebook's backup systems to be completely deleted. A certain amount of information contained within the Facebook network disappears the moment you deactivate your account.
Any posts you made to the walls of your friends remain there. Before, anyone who wanted to connect with you and send you a friend request would search your name on Facebook and find your profile.
The whole point of Facebook is to make networking super easy for people. When you deactivate your Facebook account, you cut yourself off from enjoying this benefit. You lose touch with your online social circle until you reactivate your account.
