You may reactivate your Facebook account at any time by logging back into Facebook or using your Facebook account to log in somewhere else. You’ll need access to the email or mobile phone number you use to log in, of course.

After you deactivate an account, Facebook stores all data so that you may quickly reactivate the account if you change your mind and wish to utilize the social networking again. Facebook does not erase old account information after a set period of time, therefore you can revive Facebook a year after closing an account.

You may reactivate your account at any time during the next 30 days by signing in to it. If you don’t log in/activate your account for 30 days, it will be permanently deleted. To change your username or email address, you don’t need to deactivate your account; you may do so at any time in your account settings

There is no upper limit on how long a person can keep her Facebook account deactivated, according to the social networking site. However, if a Facebook user truly wishes to terminate it permanently, he or she may do so.

After you’ve deactivated your Facebook account, you can continue to use Messenger. If you had a Facebook account and deactivated it, Messenger won’t reactivate your Facebook account, and your Facebook friends will be able to message you.
