越来越多的人正在远离社交媒体，或者至少是Facebook。无论^(Whether)您是想远离社交媒体的“跟上琼斯”的本质，还是担心数据隐私^{(concerned about data privacy)}，有时离开并退出是件好事。

如果您已经停用了Facebook帐户，您可能会惊讶地发现您的Facebook Messenger帐户仍然处于活动状态。尽管它们都在Facebook下运营，但这两者被认为是独立的服务。您必须单独停用Facebook Messenger。

请记住，在停用^(Bear)Facebook Messenger之前，您必须停用您的Facebook帐户。如果您还没有这样做，请继续停用Facebook。（不用担心。如果您停用您的帐户，您可以随时返回。除非您删除您的帐户，否则您的数据不会消失。）

值得庆幸的是，通过 iOS 停用您的Facebook Messenger帐户是一个相对轻松、简单的过程。与某些在客户和停用之间设置墙的服务不同， Facebook^(Facebook)让事情变得容易。

打开Messenger并单击左上角的个人资料图标。这将打开您的选项菜单，并允许您更改通知、联系人访问权限等内容^{(and more)}。向下滚动并点击帐户设置。^{(Account Settings.)}

1. 在Account Settings中，向下滚动直到您到达标题Your Facebook information。 
2. 在此处，点击帐户所有权和控制权。 ^{(Account ownership and control. )}
3. 点击停用和删除。 ^{(Deactivation and deletion. )}
4. 您现在可以选择是停用您的帐户还是删除您的帐户。选择您想要的选项，然后点击继续停用帐户。^{(Continue to Account Deactivation.)}

1. 系统将提示您输入密码。完成后，点击提交。 ^(Submit. )

停用Facebook Messenger的步骤在^{(Facebook Messenger)}Android和 iOS上有所不同。打开您的聊天，然后点击左上角的个人资料图片。

在此处，点击法律和政策，^{(Legal and Policies, )}然后点击停用 Messenger。^{(Deactivate Messenger. )}点击停用^(Deactivate)以完成该过程。这很简单，但请记住——您必须先停用您的 Facebook 帐户^{(have deactivated your Facebook account)}，然后才能停用Facebook Messenger。

How To Deactivate Facebook Messenger

More and more people arе turning аway from social media, or at least Facebook. Whether you want to distance уourself from the “keeping up with the Jones” nature оf social media or you arе concerned about data privacy, sometimes it is good to step away and log out.

If you have already deactivated your Facebook account, you might be surprised to learn that your Facebook Messenger account is still active. Though they both operate under Facebook, the two are considered separate services. You will have to deactivate Facebook Messenger separately.

Bear in mind that you must deactivate your Facebook account before you deactivate Facebook Messenger. If you haven’t already done so, go ahead and deactivate Facebook. (Don’t worry. If you deactivate your account, you can return at any time. Your data isn’t gone unless you delete your account.)

How To Deactivate Facebook Messenger on iPhone and iPad

Thankfully, deactivating your Facebook Messenger account through iOS is a relatively painless, easy process. Facebook makes it easy to do, unlike some services that put walls between customers and deactivation.

Open Messenger and click your profile icon in the top-left corner. This will open your options menu and allow you to change things like your notifications, contact access, and more. Scroll down and tap Account Settings.

1. Once in Account Settings, scroll down until you reach the heading Your Facebook information. 
2. From here, tap Account ownership and control. 
3. Tap Deactivation and deletion. 
4. You can now choose whether to deactivate your account or delete your account. Choose the option you want and then tap Continue to Account Deactivation.

1. You will be prompted to enter your password. When you do, tap Submit. 

If you deleted your account, it’s permanent. However, if you only deactivated your account, you can reactivate it just by logging back into Messenger with your username and password.

How To Deactivate Facebook Messenger on Android

The steps to deactivate Facebook Messenger vary a bit on Android versus iOS. Open your chats, and then tap your profile picture in the top left corner.

From here, tap Legal and Policies, and then tap Deactivate Messenger. Tap Deactivate to complete the process. It’s simple, but remember—you have to have deactivated your Facebook account before you can deactivate Facebook Messenger.

Something that is worth noting is that it is nearly impossible to deactivate or delete Facebook Messenger through your Macbook or PC. The service is designed for use through mobile apps, and it is only through these mobile apps that you can deactivate it. If you lose your phone or are otherwise unable to deactivate Facebook Messenger using the steps above, contact Facebook support and make a request to have your Messenger account deactivated.

The official Facebook documentation is not up to date. If you are using a device that doesn’t fit into one of the categories above, you may need to wait until Facebook updates their official documentation on how to properly disable a Facebook Messenger account.

There is a final option, however. If you delete your Facebook account, it will also delete your Messenger account. The messages you have sent will remain, but you will be unable to use Messenger.
