If you are like some, one of your New Year Resolutions may be to take a break from Social Media.  Although, maybe some of us are not committed to permanently deleting our accounts, from time to time we may just need a break to stop back from the computer and take in life off the device.

Here is how you deactivate your accounts for Snapchat, Instagram and Facebook.

Snapchat: First log into your account online at Snapchat.com.  After logging in with your user name and password, you deactivate the account by selecting “Delete an account.” This will begin the process to deactivate your account -- but be warned, after 30 days, Snapchat will permanently delete your account.

Instagram: First log into your account on Instagram.com and go to your profile.  Select “Edit Profile” and then “Temporarily disable my account”.  You will be prompted to answer why you are disabling your account before confirming, “Temporarily Disable Account.”

Facebook:  When logged into Facebook, select the down arrow on the right corner of the page.   In your settings, select "general" and then select “Manage your account."  From here you can then select “Deactivate your account.”
