Facebook might also ask for additional information or confirm the deactivation once more. Follow the prompts.
Step 7: Reactivation
Your account is now deactivated. If you wish to reactivate it in the future, you can do so by logging in again with your credentials. This will reactivate your account.
Additional Tips:
Considerations Before Deactivation:
Back up any essential data from your account.
Inform friends or contacts if you wish to stay in touch through other means.
