Google searches on how to delete Facebook, Instagram , and Threads have been on the rise in the wake of Meta ’s decision to remove its third -party fact-checking system and loosen content moderation policies.

Mark Zuckerberg has said he wants to return to “OG Facebook” and is planning to refresh the product this year to lure in Gen Z.

If you’re really set on deleting (and not just deactivating) your Facebook account, you should download your Facebook archives.

Instagram will notify you by email and on the app when it’s ready to go, and you’ll have four days to download the information.

Once your account is deleted, you can sign back up with the same username.

If you delete the account associated with your Instagram account, that will also delete your Threads profile.

To delete only Threads , go to the Threads.net web page on a computer and follow these steps.
