How to deactivate facebook account on phone

You can deactivate your Facebook account without permanently deleting it. If you want to come back, your profile will be ready and waiting for you.

The Deactivate option is available under the Security category on your Facebook account settings when you access your profile from a desktop PC or laptop computer. On the other hand, in order to deactivate your Facebook account via mobile phone, you must access the Account Settings window of your profile from your phone, and you will find the Deactivate option under the General category.
