Facebook, since its inception in 2004, has become the most popular social network of the moment. According to its own sources, it has reached two million active advertisers and ranks 76th among the largest in the world.
It is estimated that Facebook has almost three million users and is ranked number 7 among the most visited sites. And surely you are one of those users who has this social network installed on your mobile. But it can happen that sometimes Facebook doesn’t load and you can’t access it from your cell phone. Do not be discouraged and restart your computer and you will surely be able to see all the news of your application. Make sure it is turned on and not running in the background.
What is the procedure to follow to uninstall Facebook?
Sometimes certain applications take up space on your mobile, which makes it slower and does not allow for optimal performance. Other times you want to install a new application and your mobile space is insufficient. It’s time to dump her and move on. You can then proceed to uninstall some applications that you do not need. In the case of Facebook, just follow these steps:
- For your Android, access the “settings” option and click on the application manager
- Click on Facebook and then on “uninstall”
- To reinstall it, you must download it from the Google Play Store
- From your iPhone or iPad you must hold down the application icon
- Click on the “x” and tap delete to confirm.
- To reinstall it, download it from the iTunes App Store
Why does your mobile sometimes not allow you to uninstall apps like Facebook?
If when running the procedures for uninstalling the Facebook application and in the application option, the uninstall option does not appear and only the option “force close” or “deactivate” it’s because it comes pre-installed on your mobile. Also, make sure you have Facebook silent mode turned off. You may be receiving notifications that are important to the operation of the application.
Pre-installation on the system
When the Facebook application appears default on your mobile the option “Disable” or “force shutdown” is not enough for final uninstallation. Even taking these actions, the Facebook application will still take up the space you need.
Denial of permits
When installing or logging in to the Facebook homepage te they apply for certain permits. It is your decision to allow them, as some users are uncomfortable knowing that they are sharing certain information. The application usually works without these permissions, but sometimes it explains the reason for the request. You can move on without taking the explanation into account or looking for it on your own.
Application in execution
There are times when certain applications appear running in the background. This happens very often with Facebook and Messenger when only the application has been disabled. To prevent data from being sent and collected, follow these steps:
- Go to settings
- Tap applications and notifications
- Select notifications
- From the menu choose “show systems”
- Click on the application and disable the “allow notifications” option
What can you do if your cell phone does not allow you to uninstall Facebook from your system?
This usually happens when the application Facebook comes by default on your mobile. If you only see the “force close or disable” option when entering settings, you will not be able to uninstall it. What you need to do then is to uninstall the updates before disabling the application. This will change Facebook to the original pre-installed version that takes up no storage space.
Disable the App
One way to prevent Facebook from consuming too much battery is by turning it off. You can do this from the “settings” window or also from the main Facebook page. Here are the steps to follow temporarily deactivate your account or delete it completely:
- Tap your profile picture at the top left
- Go to settings
- Click on ownership and account control
- Click Disable and Delete and select one
Use a root to delete it
Another option for completely delete Facebook from your mobile is through a root. There are several applications such as Root App Delete, Splend App Uninstaller or Root Unistaller that can be useful to perform this action. We recommend the Root Unistaller application.
With this application you will not only be able to delete all traces of Facebook from the system, but you will be able to do so with any other application. Follow these steps to completely erase all traces of Facebook. Simply after you have installed Root Uninstaller and granted the relevant permissions go to settings and press uninstall updates and then uninstall on Facebook.
