How to Permanently Delete a Facebook Page on Your iPhone
If you’re looking to permanently remove a Facebook page you manage on your iPhone, this guide provides clear, step-by-step instructions to help you navigate the Facebook app efficiently. Whether you’re looking to delete a page you created or one that someone else established, you’ll be equipped with all the necessary information to ensure a smooth deletion process. By following these steps, you can successfully eliminate unwanted pages from your account directly through your mobile device.
Before you start, ensure you have the latest version of the Facebook app installed on your iPhone. This tutorial is applicable for iOS devices including iPhone and iPad.
Step 1: Open the Facebook App
Begin by locating and opening the Facebook app on your iPhone. Ensure you are logged into the account that manages the page you wish to delete.
Step 2: Access Your Profile
Once the app is open, navigate to your profile by tapping your profile icon located at the top right corner of the screen. This will display your personal profile and any pages you manage.
Step 3: Select the Page to Delete
You can access your Facebook page by either selecting it from the list of shortcuts or by tapping the arrow icon that indicates you have a business page. Choose the page you intend to delete to switch to its management view.
Step 4: Open Page Settings
With the page selected, tap on your page’s profile icon again at the top right corner. This will lead you to the page settings. Look for the gear icon (settings) and tap on it to access the page settings menu.
Step 5: Navigate to Deactivation and Deletion Options
Scroll down within the settings menu until you find the section titled Access and Control. Here, select the option for Deactivation and Deletion. You will be presented with the choices to deactivate the page, delete it, or unpublish it.
Step 6: Confirm Deletion
Read the options carefully. Deactivating or unpublishing a page can be temporary, but choosing to delete the page is a permanent action. If you’re sure you want to proceed, select the option to delete the page and then tap Continue to confirm your choice.
Step 7: Finalize the Deletion
Follow any additional prompts that may appear, which may include providing feedback on why you’re deleting the page. Once you’ve completed this step, your page will be scheduled for deletion.
