JAKARTA - In addition to allowing users to delete their accounts, Facebook and Instagram also offer the ability to cancel account deletion. However, this option has a grace period.
Facebook and Instagram users only have 30 days to reactivate accounts that have been asked to be deleted. During this period, all data in the account will not disappear.
If the user exceeds the 30-day limit, not only will the account profile information be permanently deleted, but also all the data in it. Users will no longer be able to access photos, messages, or other data after the period expires.
To cancel the deletion of a Facebook account, you just have to log back into the account before the 30-day period expires. After logging in, click the Cancel Deletion option to make your account active again as before.
It is worth noting that the duration of this grace period varies, depending on the user's place of residence. Check the official notification from Facebook to find out the exact duration offered by the platform.
The procedure for canceling the deletion of an Instagram account is also similar to Facebook. Users only need to log back in using the same username and password. Logging in during the grace period will stop the account deletion process automatically.
It is known that Meta, the company that oversees Instagram and Facebook, processes data cleaning from the main server for up to 90 days. During this period, data will remain secure, but not accessible by other users.
Account owners also cannot access their data if the account is in a grace period. Therefore, if you change your mind after deleting your Facebook or Instagram account, immediately log back in to restore your account and the data in it.
