Part 2: Reasons for deleting a Facebook account on iPhone
Primarily, personal reasons lead to deleting a Facebook account on an iPhone. To provide a brief overview, we have chosen the four main reasons that often justify deletion or the thought of it.
1. Many don't want companies to collect their data for advertising
There are many terms for companies that make money with personal data. On social media, protecting personal data, especially for children, is crucial. Concerns about companies using data for targeted advertising and misuse are growing. Many users want more control over who uses their data or their children's data and want to maintain privacy and avoid invasive ads.
2. Minimize distractions from social media
Social media like Facebook can significantly impact productivity due to constant push notifications and endless scrolling. Many are trying to reduce these distractions and refocus on daily life. A conscious approach to social media can also help children work more efficiently and become more creative.
3. Too many disputes and insults
Online discussions and negative comments, especially bullying among children, arise quickly. Many users are annoyed by constant complaints, which poison the atmosphere even during positive experiences. More respect, harmony, and positive interactions on social media are important for many people and promote children's development.
4. Negativity everywhere
On Facebook and similar platforms, users are often overwhelmed with negative news. Even children's news increasingly features negative headlines, leading to overwhelm and a desire for more positivity in their lives.
Part 3: What happens when you permanently delete your Facebook account?
But what really happens to all the data and information stored on Facebook, and what other consequences are there?
All information & data are permanently deleted and cannot be recovered
When the account is permanently deleted, all data, photos, posts, and comments are also deleted. This means not only losing your Facebook account but also potentially valuable memories stored on Facebook. This can be a significant issue, especially for children.
Facebook Messenger and other apps can no longer be used
Additionally, deletion means no more access to Facebook Messenger. Other apps and games linked to the Facebook account can no longer be used. If you logged into another account using Facebook, this is no longer possible. If your children use Instagram through your Facebook account, you must also consider the consequences.
The account cannot be reactivated
It's important to note that a deleted Facebook account is permanently deleted. It cannot be reactivated or restored. If you change your mind or your child wants their Facebook account back, this is unfortunately not possible.
Part 4: The alternative way to delete your Child's Facebook account
Not everyone will insist on deleting their Facebook account after knowing the consequences because there is a lot of important data on Facebook. Deleting a Facebook account can lead to the loss of important data.
If your child is addicted to Facebook and constantly harassed by bad content and negativity but refuses to delete the Facebook account due to important data, you can use an alternative method - limit Facebook usage.
AirDroid Parental Control can monitor children's mobile phones on parents' phones and manage all applications on children's phones, including limiting app usage time and keyword detection, etc.
1. Parents can limit their children's Facebook usage time without informing them or simply disable Facebook during study and rest times.
2. Parents can also use keywords to monitor content. If inappropriate information is detected on their children's Facebook page, a warning is sent.
3. If children click on spam links and jump to other dangerous websites, parents can see this on their phones and directly add these spam links to the blacklist.
Conclusion
In summary, due to the important data and influence of Facebook, it is better to limit Facebook usage than to delete your Facebook account. Spam on the internet is not only on Facebook but everywhere. Simply deleting your Facebook account will not solve the problem. Rational use is the right way. However, if you insist on deleting Facebook, just follow the steps in Part 1.
If a child has low self-control and cannot use social software like Facebook reasonably and correctly, they need parental help. Therefore, we recommend using AirDroid Parental Control, which not only regulates the child's use of social software but also allows remote access to the phone's camera, sound, geographic location, etc. It is a comprehensive assistance tool.
