Can anyone see a deactivated Facebook account?

Answered by Edward Huber

When your Facebook account is deactivated, it essentially becomes invisible to the public eye. This means that no one else can see your profile or access any of your information. However, it is important to note that there are a few exceptions to this.

Firstly, some information may still be visible to others, even when your account is deactivated. For example, messages that you sent to your friends may still be visible in their inbox. This is because the messages are stored on their end and not directly tied to your deactivated account.

Additionally, your friends may still see your name in their friends list, even though they can’t access your profile. They might notice that your profile picture is no longer visible and that they are unable to click on your name to view your profile. However, they will still be able to see your name in their list of friends.

It’s worth noting that while your account is deactivated, your information is essentially on hold. This means that if you decide to reactivate your account at a later time, all of your data, including your friends list, photos, and posts, will be restored.
