Can You Deactivate Facebook but Keep Marketplace?

No, you can’t access Facebook marketplace If your Facebook account is de-active. You will need an active Facebook account in order to use the marketplace.

What’s the solution then?

You can simply limit your Facebook profile by setting privacy settings. This way others won’t be able to access or get any information from your Facebook profile. You can set almost all sorts of privacy settings on your profile like who can see or comment on your post, and who can add or send you a friend request.

You can even turn on your profile photo guard to make it unable to open or take a screenshot. So no one will be able to access it without you wanting them to.

What’s the difference between disabling Facebook account and Deleting it?

Disabling a Facebook account is a temporary action that allows you to take a break from the platform while deleting a Facebook account is a permanent action that permanently removes your profile and all associated data from Facebook.

When you disable your account, your profile, timeline, and all other information will not be visible to other users on Facebook. However, your data will be saved, and you can reactivate your account later by logging back in with your username and password.

On the other hand, when you delete your Facebook account, your profile and all associated data, such as photos, posts, and friends lists, will be permanently deleted and will not be recoverable.

If you choose to delete your account, it may take up to 90 days for all the data to be deleted from Facebook’s servers.

In summary, disabling is a temporary action while deleting is a permanent action, with the latter leading to the permanent removal of data and profiles from Facebook.
