If you are planning to deactivate your personal Facebook account for a while to detoxify, then you can still keep using the Messenger app to stay connected with loved ones. Some people prefer using the Messenger app over Facebook in terms of socializing and communicating with friends and family. However, using Messenger will not reactivate your account.

Simply download the Messenger app and then log in using your Facebook account and keep using the service. However, when you deactivate your Facebook account, you can still use the deactivated Facebook account to log into Messenger, which will not reactivate your Facebook account.įacebook and Messenger are now two separate apps you can use but are still connected with a single account.

You can't completely delete a Facebook account but keep Messenger. A few days back, a friend sent me a message asking ‘ Can you delete Facebook and keep Messenger?’ For everyone’s benefit, let me share this post on how to conveniently stay connected without having to use your favorite social app.
