Simple Steps To Deactivate Messenger

1. Open Messenger app  
2. Tap your profile icon (top-left)  
3. Select "Account Settings"  
4. Choose "Deactivate"  
5. Confirm your choice  

Done! Your chats get archived but stay visible to others. You can reactivate anytime by logging back in. This won't delete your account - just hides your presence temporarily.
