Does deleting the Facebook app delete your account?

Note that removing the Facebook app doesn’t delete your account; you can still access it using the browser and other apps may still utilize Facebook as a login. Getting rid of the icon from your phone hides it away but has no effect on your overall account.

This is a problem because: To uninstall an app on Android, you must first open the Settings menu. The apps will continue to run if you uninstall them. However, deleting app data on Android has the undesirable side effect of also deleting all of the media files downloaded by said app and logging you out of all your applications. Uninstalling an application is equivalent to logging out from it.

Remember, removing the app from your phone does NOT delete the account. To discover the Delete Account option at the bottom of App Settings, log in and go to our website.
