Facebook is the most popular social media network and boasts of more than a billion users worldwide. Though, Facebook has grown popular by providing ways to stay in touch with your friends and loved ones no matter where they are, but at the same time, it has become a platform that kills your productivity. So if you are also not able to work properly because you are constantly distracted with Facebook, then you can either delete Facebook account permanently or deactivate it temporarily.

We have already shared a way to delete your account from your computer, but since a lot of people now use iOS devices to stay online on Facebook, we are going to show you how you can deactivate or delete Facebook account from iPhone and iPad. The method is simple and we will use the Facebook app on your iOS device to complete the task. So let’s get started with the article and see how you can get rid of the distraction once and for all.
