You need to know how to deactivate Messenger, the Facebook messaging app? Although we have unsubscribed from Facebook, not all services associated with the social network are deactivated.
In fact, if you have the app Facebook Messenger you still have the possibility to use it without problems. But if you also want to deactivate Facebook Messenger, we show you the steps you must follow.
How to deactivate Facebook Messenger? steps to disable your account
Isn't it enough to unsubscribe from Facebook?
Despite the fact that Facebook Messenger began as a chat service within the social network itself, the truth is that it has a independent development. In fact, we can even connect it with our phone number, to receive SMS through this application. And, for this reason, in order to permanently unsubscribe from Messenger, you must do so in both services independently.
The first step you can take is to unsubscribe from your Facebook profile. But that will not be enough for other users to stop contacting you through the chat service. Therefore you can skip it if you want to continue on the social network.
The Messenger app, an essential element
It is important that you bear in mind that to deactivate the messaging service, you must have the Messenger app on your mobile, which you can download at the following link:
Another need that may arise is that you want to delete Facebook Messenger contact. It is simple and easy.
How to deactivate Messenger? detailed steps
The steps you must follow to disable Messenger and that nobody can send you messages to your profile again are very simple, and we explain them below:
- Open the Facebook Messenger app from your smartphone.
- Click on your profile picture, which will be the same one you had active on Facebook. At that time you will see a menu with all the options available to make changes to your account. There is also included the possibility of deactivating it at the moment you want.
- In this menu, we will find a section called Conditions and services. We will have to click on it to access all the options.
- In the event that we have previously unsubscribed from Facebook, we will have to click on the option Disable Messenger which will appear last.
- Although the account will have already been deactivated, as a last point we recommend you delete the app from your smartphone, since you will no longer be able to use it.
Will my conversations disappear?
Keep in mind that even if we have deleted our profile, the conversations we have had with other users will not be deleted. All of them will continue to be saved in our history, and also in those of the people who have spoken with us. What we will have achieved by deactivating Facebook Messenger is that no one can start a new conversation with us, nor, of course, that we can do it.
