1. Uninstall any Facebook apps that you have on your smartphone
You installed a Facebook app on your smartphone thinking you’d be able to check Facebook on the go. But what happened in the course of time? You got into the habit of checking photos, status updates, news feed and what not, every single moment! Eventually, you got addicted to it. Now to break free of this addiction, you will have to first hit the source.
Uninstall any Facebook apps that you have on your smartphone. Also make sure you log out of Facebook on these apps before uninstalling the app. If you had pinned the app on the home screen, replace it with something worthwhile, like an e-book.
2. Turn off the Facebook email notifications feature
The same rule applies to your email notifications as well. When you receive email notifications about friend requests, latest updates and the likes, you tend to feel an intense urge to check out Facebook. This eventually becomes an addiction. So, even before you plan to delete your Facebook account, log into your Facebook account and turn off email notifications.
3. Save contacts and any other important data
Facebook may have been the place where you found your best friend. You’d like to keep in touch with him even after quitting Facebook. So, before you take the big step, save all your contacts and any other important data that lies on Facebook. Once you delete your account, you can never access it any time in life.
4. Post the final status update
Before you quit Facebook, inform your friends about your decision and the reason behind it. Post a final status update on Facebook and bid farewell to one and all. Thank all those who’ve made a difference to your life in some way or the other. Forgive those who’ve hurt you and end it on a good note.
