What does a deactivated Facebook account look like? You won't be able to check their profile because links revert to plain text. Posts they've made on your timeline will still exist but you will not be able to click on their name.

Please go to account Settings, clicking the Security tab and then clicking the Close Account button. Once your profile is deactivated, the profile cannot be accessed by anyone. If at a later date you need to again re- activate your profile you will need to write to NSR.

They should sign out from their Facebook account when they are surfing on a laptop or smartphone because that sometimes becomes a reason for showing someone online, even when they aren't. If people switch off their Facebook messenger app online, then it could really help with their battery situation as well.

Can people tag you on a photo if you have deactivated your Facebook account? ... People can definitely tag you in photos. I deactivated for a week and returned to find myself tagged in several new photos and comments posted during that week.

In another scenario, if someone's profile shows that they are active now, but without a green sign, then this could mean two things: That profile has switched off their chat. The person who is viewing that profile has switched off the chat.

They are probably not logging out of their account or ending their sessions. If a person has a computer and lives by themselves or are the only individual to use that computer/device they may not have reason to sign in and out each time. This would result in it showing them active at all times.

Look back on old Facebook messages between the two of you. If their name and photo appears but you are unable to click onto their profile, then it is likely that they blocked you. When an account has been deactivated, their name and profile photo are usually blank.

Like deactivation, Facebook will not delete your account for inactivity. It's something you must do from your “Account Settings” page. Once deleted, your account cannot be reinstated. All content, including your Timeline, photos, friend lists and other personal data, are deleted.

Probably your friend has deactivated his/her account but still using Messenger. Anyone can deactivated his/her Facebook account and keep using Messenger.

Your account was removed from Facebook because we found it's pretending to be someone else. ... The only silver lining is that Facebook doesn't immediately delete your account when they ban your account — You are taken to a tedious form where you must prove that you are real if you think they have banned you in error.

If someone shows as "facebook user" it just means that person deleted or deactivated their account, so they are no longer on Facebook, their posts are all gone, all that exists is what you have in your messages. If someone blocked you, their name and profile would still be there, just you would not be able to respond.
