You can delete Facebook and then reinstall it if you wish to do so. Deleting the Facebook app from your phone will remove the app itself, but it will not delete your Facebook account or any of your data associated with it.
When you reinstall the Facebook app, you can log in with your existing account credentials, and all your data will still be there. This includes your friends list, posts, photos, and other personal information.
However, it’s important to note that if you delete your Facebook account permanently, reinstalling the app will not bring back your account or any of your data. Permanently deleting your account means that all your information will be permanently removed from Facebook’s servers and cannot be recovered.
If you simply want to take a break from Facebook or temporarily deactivate your account, you have the option to do so. Deactivating your account will make your profile and data temporarily inaccessible to others, but it will not delete your account. You can reactivate your account at any time by logging back in.
When you reinstall Facebook, you may need to go through the initial setup process again, such as agreeing to the terms and conditions and customizing your privacy settings. However, your previous Facebook data will still be associated with your account.
It’s worth mentioning that deleting and reinstalling the Facebook app does not affect any other apps or services that are connected to your Facebook account. For example, if you use Facebook to log in to other apps or websites, reinstalling Facebook will not delete or affect those connections.
In my personal experience, I have deleted and reinstalled Facebook on my phone a few times when I wanted to take a break from social media or if I encountered any issues with the app. Each time, I was able to log back in with my existing account and access all my previous data.
Deleting and reinstalling Facebook is a straightforward process, and it allows you to take a break from the platform without permanently losing your data.
