What are the indications that someone has deactivated their Facebook account? - Happy Girl 20 - 11-09-2012 08:59 PM
What are the indications to others that a facebook friend has deactivated their profile?

you can't see his/her profile if he/she has deactivated their fb profile

You can't find them when you search, all of their comments on yours/others stuff is gone.
The easiest way is to just search for them.

Well first of all, you won't be able to go to their profiles. Secondly, no profile picture will show up in any of their posts, and thirdly, their name will appear as "Facebook User". If the name is their normal name and not "Facebook User" then that means they have chosen to block you. If they have chosen to block you, their profile pictures will not show, their names will be black and unclickable. They will also not appear in any friend's mutual friends list and will not appear in your searches. Unfortunately, there is no way to know which it is without doing one of these:
1) Asking someone you know was their friend on Facebook if the account is still active
OR
2) Actually asking that person.
