After you have used an app for a certain amount of time, it will block the app, including its notifications. You can use many of its features to limit your time on smartphones and set timers for individual apps.

Google released Digital Wellbeing in 2018, and it’s available on smartphones running Android 9 and above. So, here’s how you can use those features to control your Messenger usage. There’s Screen Time on iOS and Digital Wellbeing on several Android phones that you can use to limit your time on FB Messenger. If the reason you’re planning to deactivate Facebook Messenger is the amount of time you spend on the app daily, there are some other options you can consider as well. But remember, there is no turning back, and you can’t retrieve your account once you start the deletion process.

Note: If you want to delete your Facebook account with Messenger and everything related to Facebook, you can do that using the guides above. Yeah, Facebook works in mysterious ways, and we have to deal with it.

As we have mentioned above, after deactivation, if you decide to log in back only to Messenger, it will also activate your Facebook account. In case you want to get back to Messenger, you can log in later, and everything will be restored. Also, you will no longer be able to send or receive messages. Keep in mind that deactivating Messenger won’t delete your messages, it only makes your account invisible to other users.
