What happens if one decides to unsubscribe from Facebook
If one decides to unsubscribe from Facebook, he will no longer be able to reactivate his profile. Your profile, photos, posts, videos, and anything else you've added will be permanently deleted. All your added content will be lost forever.
You will no longer be able to use Facebook Messenger. You will not be able to use Facebook Login for other apps that you may have signed up to with your Facebook account, such as Spotify or Pinterest. You may need to contact affected apps and websites to recover these accounts.
Some information, such as messages sent to friends, may still be visible to recipients after the account is deleted. Copies of messages you've sent are stored in your friends' inbox.
