The Facebook app on your iPad gives you access to most of the features you'd enjoy when using the social media platform on a computer: viewing friends' posts and pictures, adding your own photos and videos, updating your status, and more.
However, one thing the Facebook app does not allow is ready use of Facebook Messenger.
To access Facebook Messenger on your iPad, you need to get the separate Facebook Messenger app.
But you can't simply log out of Messenger using the Messenger app — for that, you need to go back into the main Facebook app and follow these steps.
1. From the home page of the Facebook app on your iPad, tap the three parallel lines at the bottom right corner of the page.
Select the "Menu" option in the bottom right. Steven John/Business Insider2. Scroll down and then tap the "Settings & Privacy" tab.
Select Settings & Privacy. Steven John/Business Insider 3.
Tap "Settings" from the new dropdown menu.
4. Tap "Security and Login" under the "Security" section on the next page.
5. Beside "Where you're logged in," tap the words "See More."
See the devices that you're logged into here. Steven John/Business Insider6. Identify the iPad on which the Messenger app is active (look for the word "Messenger") and tap the three vertical dots.
7. Tap the "Log Out" button that appears.
Now head back to the Messenger app, and you should be prompted to log in, proving that you successfully logged out.

This is how Facebook describes account deactivation:
When you deactivate your account, your profile will not be visible to other people and they will not be able to find you. Some information will still be available to other people. For example, the messages you sent to your friends.
Within 30 days of deleting your account, you can change your mind and cancel the deletion. When 30 days have passed, your account and all information will be permanently deleted and you will not be able to recover them.
It may take up to 90 days for your data to be completely deleted. While the deletion is in progress, the data will not be available to other people on Facebook. nine0003
