How Do I Deactivate My Messenger?

Can I deactivate Messenger?

You can only deactivate Messenger if you previously deactivated your Facebook account.

To deactivate Messenger after you've deactivated your Facebook account:

1. Open Messenger
2. Tap your profile picture in the top left corner > Privacy & Terms > Deactivate Messenger
3. Enter your password and tap Continue
4. Tap Deactivate

To reactivate Messenger, log in with your username and password.

Note: If you deactivate both Facebook and Messenger and then reactivate Messenger, your Facebook account will also be reactivated.
