想要脱离社交媒体是可以理解的。如果不加以控制，社交媒体的使用可能会变成看似无止境的浪费时间。这可能会对您的工作效率、心理健康造成严重破坏，或导致其他问题。许多人决定在这些情况下采取的一个步骤是删除社交媒体(deleting social media)帐户。
但是，删除帐户可能听起来像是太多的承诺。许多网站，例如Facebook，已经提供了一种方法可以让您停用您的帐户，而不是永远删除它。这意味着您仍然可以重新访问它，并且您的帐户数据将在您离开时保持不变。
停用和删除有什么区别？(What’s the Difference Between Deactivating and Deleting?)
对于在Facebook 上(Facebook)查看您帐户的其他人来说，删除或停用它并没有太大区别。您的帐户不会向那些试图查看它的人显示，也没有人能够向您发送好友请求。您也不会出现在搜索或人们的朋友列表中。
主要区别在于您仍然可以随时登录并访问已停用的帐户。登录已停用的帐户后，它将再次激活。它的工作方式与您离开Facebook帐户时相同。当您停用它时，您帐户中的任何数据(Any data)也不会被删除。这意味着您在帐户中拥有的帖子或图片。
删除Facebook帐户后，您将无法再次访问它。Facebook在请求删除帐户后会暂停几天，因此如果您在请求删除帐户后一天左右登录该帐户，您应该可以将其取回。但在那之后，它将永远消失。
这就是为什么如果您的帐户中有大量内容和数据要保存，那么停用帐户可能是一个更好的选择。如果您计划最终返回该站点，那也更好。您还应该记住，无论您删除还是停用Facebook帐户，您仍然可以使用Facebook Messenger，并且您在那里的所有消息都将保持不变。
如何停用 Facebook 帐户(How to Deactivate a Facebook Account)
如果您决定停用Facebook而不是删除它，请按照以下方法操作。
- 在您的主页上，单击右上角的“帐户(Account)”按钮，然后选择“设置和隐私(Settings & Privacy )” > “设置”( Settings)。
- 在左侧边栏中，选择您的 Facebook 信息(Your Facebook Information)。
- 在停用(Deactivation)和删除(Deletion)旁边，选择查看(View)。
- 在下一页上，选择停用帐户(Deactivate Account)框。然后点击继续停用帐户(Continue to Account Deactivation)。
- 现在，输入您的密码以访问帐户停用页面。
- 在此页面上，您可以选择离开的原因或在提供的文本框中进行更多说明。您还可以查看您是哪些组的管理员，在您的帐户停用 20 天后您可能会失去对这些组的控制。您还可以选择不接收来自Facebook的电子邮件。完成这些设置后，单击页面底部的 停用按钮。(Deactivate )
- 将弹出一个窗口，询问您是否确定要停用。选择立即停用(Deactivate Now)以完成停用您的帐户。
对于您可能选择作为停用原因的每个选项，Facebook将为您提供一些与您关注的问题相关的资源，您可以使用这些资源而不是完全停用。但是，您仍然可以关闭这些以继续停用。
如果您选择这是暂时的。我会回来的。(This is temporary. I’ll be back.)作为您离开的原因，您可以为您的帐户设置一个自动重新激活的时间，最多在未来一周内。如果您选择此选项，则必须设置重新激活的时间。
如果您愿意，您现在可以随时登录已停用的帐户，以便重新登录。
停用后会发生什么？(What Happens After Deactivation?)
您的帐户将不再对其他人可见，包括帖子、照片或您的信息。如果您是Facebook 上(Facebook)任何群组的管理员，则在停用 20 天后，您将失去他们的管理员权限。
您也将无法使用此Facebook帐户访问您已连接到Facebook的其他帐户，除非重新登录以重新激活它。如果您使用Facebook(Facebook)登录其他服务，您可能需要更改您的登录信息或创建新帐户，以免它们连接到Facebook。
您将始终能够使用Facebook Messenger并继续向您的朋友发送消息。停用或删除Facebook帐户不会对您的Messenger帐户执行相同的操作。
停用帐户的时间没有限制。如果您愿意，它始终可供您重新登录。Facebook会下载并存储您停用帐户中的所有数据，以便您返回时这些数据仍然存在。
要重新激活您的Facebook帐户，请使用与已停用帐户相同的信息登录该站点。然后，您将回到您的帐户，就好像您从未离开过一样。
您应该停用还是删除您的 Facebook 帐户？(Should You Deactivate or Delete Your Facebook Account?)
停用或删除Facebook(Facebook)帐户都有充分的理由。如果您不确定是否要回来，停用是最好的方法。如前所述，如果您确实删除了您的帐户，如果您愿意，您可以在几天后重新登录。但是完全删除是永久性的。
在Facebook 上(Facebook)，如果您想删除您的帐户但不希望您的数据消失，您实际上可以下载您的数据。您也可以随时下载照片。但是，在您删除帐户后，您将无法取回它，如果您想再次访问Facebook ，则必须创建一个全新的帐户。
因此，如果您只想暂时离开该站点并确保您的数据仍然可供您使用，那么停用会好得多。
How to Deactivate a Facebook Account Instead of Deleting It
It’s understandable to want а break frоm social media. If left unchecked, social media use can turn into a seemingly endless time suck. This сould be wreaking havoc on your prоductiνity, mental health, or cause other issues. One step many pеople decide to take in these situations is deleting social media accounts.
However, deleting an account might sound like too much of a commitment. Many sites, like Facebook, have made a way you can deactivate your account instead of deleting it forever. This means you’ll still be able to get back into it, and your account data will stay intact just as you left it.
What’s the Difference Between Deactivating and Deleting?
For other people looking at your account on Facebook, there isn’t much difference between deleting or deactivating it. Your account won’t show up for those who try to see it, and nobody will be able to send you friend requests. You also won’t show up in searches or on people’s friend lists.
The main difference is that you’ll still be able to log into and access your deactivated account at any time. Once you log into a deactivated account, it will become active again. It will work the same as when you left your Facebook account. Any data you had on your account also won’t be deleted when you deactivate it. This means posts or pictures you had on your account.
When you delete a Facebook account, you won’t be able to access it again once it’s gone. Facebook stalls account deletion for a few days after it’s requested, so if you log into the account a day or so after you requested to delete it, you should be able to get it back. But after that, it will be permanently gone.
This is why deactivating an account may be a better option if you have a lot of content and data on your account you’d like to save. It’s also better if you plan on eventually coming back to the site. You should also keep in mind that whether you delete or deactivate a Facebook account, you’ll always still be able to use Facebook Messenger and all your messages there will stay intact.
How to Deactivate a Facebook Account
If you decide you’d rather deactivate your Facebook instead of deleting it, here’s how.
- On your main page, click on the Account button in the top right corner and select Settings & Privacy > Settings.
- On the left sidebar, select Your Facebook Information.
- Next to Deactivation and Deletion, select View.
- On the next page, select the Deactivate Account box. Then click Continue to Account Deactivation.
- Now, enter your password to access the account deactivation page.
- On this page, you can select your reason for leaving or explain more in the provided text box. You can also see what groups you are an admin of that you may lose control over after your account is deactivated for 20 days. You can also opt out of emails from Facebook. Once you’ve finished with these settings, click on the Deactivate button at the bottom of the page.
- There will be a pop up asking if you are sure you want to deactivate. Select Deactivate Now to finish deactivating your account.
For each option you may choose as your reason for deactivating, Facebook will provide you with some resources related to your concern that you can use instead of completely deactivating. You can still close these, though, to continue the deactivation.
If you choose This is temporary. I’ll be back. as your reason for leaving, you can set a time for your account to automatically reactivate, up to a week in the future. You’ll have to set a time to reactivate if you choose this option.
If you wish, you can now log into your deactivated account whenever you want to get back into it.
What Happens After Deactivation?
Your account will no longer be visible to others, including posts, photos, or your information. If you were admin to any groups on Facebook, you will lose admin-ship from them after 20 days of deactivation.
You also won’t be able to use this Facebook account to access other accounts you have connected to Facebook without reactivating it by logging in again. If you log into other services using Facebook, you may want to change your login info or create new accounts so they aren’t connected to Facebook.
You’ll always be able to use Facebook Messenger and continue to message your friends. Deactivating or deleting a Facebook account doesn’t do the same for your Messenger account.
There is no limit to how long you can have your account deactivated. It’ll always be available for you to log back into if you wish. Facebook downloads and stores all the data on your deactivated account so that it’ll still be there when you return.
To reactivate your Facebook account, log into the site using the same information you had for the deactivated account. Then you’ll be back on your account as if you had never left.
Should You Deactivate or Delete Your Facebook Account?
There are good reasons for both deactivating or deleting a Facebook account. If you’re unsure whether you’ll want to come back or not, deactivating is the best way to go. As mentioned earlier, if you do delete your account, you’ll have a few days afterward to log back in if you wish. But a complete deletion is permanent.
On Facebook, you can actually download your data if you want to delete your account but don’t want your data to disappear. You can also always download your photos. But after you delete your account, you won’t be able to get it back and will have to create an entirely new account if you want to be on Facebook again.
So, deactivation is much better if you only want to leave the site temporarily, and make sure your data is still available to you.
