How to Delete Messenger Account Easily

Messenger is a useful app for staying in touch with friends and family, but what happens if you want to delete your Messenger account? It could be that you have forgotten your password, or you have been inactive for too long. Whatever the case, it's possible, and you don't have to do it yourself.

Old and inactive online accounts are substantial risk factors and can compromise your data security. Since they aren't closely monitored, they are prone to data breaches and information theft.

This guide covers several ways you can easily delete your old accounts including Instagram, PayPal, Gmail, Amazon, and eharmony. Whichever account you want to delete, DoNotPay stands out as the easiest and most convenient way to make that happen.

How to Delete a Messenger Account by Yourself

Deleting a Messenger account is a straightforward process. However, you can't delete a Messenger account completely without deleting your Facebook account. You can either delete your Facebook Messenger account through the website or app.

Website

To delete your account through the website, follow these steps.

1. Go to Messenger's "Settings & Privacy" page through your Facebook account.
2. Click on "Personal and Account Information" and then "Account Ownership and Control," then "Deactivation and Deletion."
3. Click on "Delete Account."

App

To delete your Messenger account through the app, follow these steps:

1. Log into Facebook, and click on the small arrow in the top right corner.
2. Click "Settings"
3. Click "Your Facebook Information" in the left menu panel.
4. Click "Delete Your Account and Information."

Keep in mind that the process is irreversible, and after the process begins, you can't reactivate the account or retrieve any content you have uploaded to Facebook. You will, however, be given the option to download your posts and photos before confirming delete.

Reasons to Delete Your Messenger Account

When signing up for a Messenger Account, Facebook keeps track of all your personal information that they use to tailor ads based on your interests. While you can delete your account, your data will remain in Facebook's database. This poses a huge risk to data security since you can't be sure how long it will remain safe.

Besides, old and inactive Facebook Messenger accounts are prone to information theft since they aren't closely monitored. Other reasons to delete your Facebook Messenger account include:

• Spam emails
• Unwanted membership/charges
• Inactivity for long periods
• Passwords compromised
• Changing of preferences and interests
