How to Know Instagram Sent Follow Request

After news broke about the Cambridge Analytica scandal in March, during which British political data-mining firm used the private data of many unwitting Facebook users, people are increasingly avoidance from the social media giant and trying to work out the way to delete Facebook.

Whether you're concerned about your online privacy or simply want to disconnect from social media, there are two ways to urge obviate a Facebook account: you'll temporarily deactivate your account or prefer to permanently delete it.

What's the difference between deleting or deactivating a Facebook account?

The biggest difference between deactivating and deleting a Facebook account is that deactivating your Facebook account gives you the pliability to return whenever you would like , while deleting your account may be a permanent action.

What happens once you deactivate Facebook?
When you deactivate your account, your timeline, including posts, photos, friends lists and "about" information are hidden, et al. cannot look for your account. However, some information, like messages you've sent, remains visible. Facebook saves all of your information (friends, posts, photos, interests) just in case you select to reactive within the future.

What happens once you delete Facebook?
Deleting an account, on the opposite hand, is about in stone. you'll not be ready to regain access once the account is deleted and everything related to the user are going to be permanently removed. For this reason, Facebook delays deletion for a couple of days after the request is formed , just in case you modify your mind. It can take up to 90 days after your account is removed for all of your data stored in Facebook's backup systems to be completely deleted.
