If i deactivate my personal facebook will it deactivate my business page

A lot of advantages come with having a Facebook account, and it's an easy way to stay up to date with friends and co-workers. However, any social media account comes with potential dangers. Posting what goes on in your life often leads to a loss of privacy, and putting your personal information on your profile exposes it to third parties.

As a Facebook user, you have the option to delete Facebook, but you may prefer to deactivate your account instead. A deactivated account is temporarily removed from the social network, but you can reactivate it when you are ready. There are some dangers associated with deactivating your account.

You Lose Some Information in the Network

A certain amount of information contained within the Facebook network disappears the moment you deactivate your account. Any posts you made to the walls of your friends remain there. However, they won’t be able to get to your account by clicking on your name anymore. Users also won’t be able to access your page or site when they click on your link in tagged photos. Your status updates all but disappear, and any community pages you are part of won’t show you as a member anymore.

You Don’t Appear in Searches Anymore

When you deactivate your Facebook account, you don’t appear on searches anymore. Before, anyone who wanted to connect with you and send you a friend request would search your name on Facebook and find your profile. That isn’t possible after you deactivate your account. Your friends won’t be able to notify you via a poke, message, or otherwise that they want to connect with you. They also won’t have any way of knowing from the network that you have temporarily taken down your account. The only way they’ll know is if you tell them.

Networking Disadvantages

The whole point of Facebook is to make networking super easy for people. When you deactivate your Facebook account, you cut yourself off from enjoying this benefit. You won’t be able to see your relatives, friends, work colleagues and acquaintances on the platform anymore. You won’t be able to keep in touch on the social media platform and won’t be able to see their posts or get their notifications. You lose touch with your online social circle until you reactivate your account.

Information on Your Account

Facebook promises to save your personal information on your account when you deactivate it. It should be there waiting for you as soon as you reactivate and get back online. This information includes posts, emails and friends lists. However, there is no guarantee that this is what will happen. There is the off chance that Facebook could accidentally delete all that information or at least some of it from your account. Although it is unlikely, a few cases of this happened in Facebook’s early days. Data loss can happen when Facebook conducts an upgrade on its network or a routine maintenance operation.

How to Delete Facebook

Deleting your Facebook account is different from deactivating your account – it's permanent after a 14-day waiting period. If you decide to delete your Facebook account, you should download a copy of your data first because you lose any data including photos associated with your Facebook account when you delete it. During the 14-day waiting period, your account is deactivated and doesn't show on the site, but after 14 days, no information can be retrieved.

Lesson 9: Deactivating Your Facebook Account

Deactivating your Facebook account

If you decide that you no longer want to use Facebook, it's easy to deactivate your account. When you deactivate your account, you're hiding all of your information on Facebook. No one will be able to contact you on Facebook or view the things you've shared, including your Timeline, status updates, and photos. If you decide that you'd like to return to Facebook, you'll still be able to reactivate your account and recover your old information.

To deactivate your account:

1. Click the drop-down arrow on the toolbar, then select Settings.
   

2. The Settings page will appear. Click Manage Account.
   

3. Click Deactivate your account.
   

4. Select a reason for deactivating the account. If you want, you can add more details in the text box below. When you're done, click Deactivate.
   

5. Select Deactivate Now.
   

6. Your account is now deactivated. You'll have the option to reactivate your account at any time by signing in to Facebook with your old account information.
   

Deleting your Facebook account

Deactivating your account does not fully delete it. When you deactivate your account, Facebook saves all of your settings, photos, and information in case you decide to reactivate your account. Your information isn't gone—it's just hidden. However, it is possible to delete your account permanently with no option for recovery.

You should only do this if you are absolutely sure you want to permanently delete your Facebook account.

To delete your Facebook account, follow this link to the Delete My Account page. If you'd like to save photos and posts from your account, click Download Info. Then click Delete Account.
