How Do I Remove An App Or Service From My Facebook Account? Belmadeng will teach you in this post how you can remove an app or service from your Facebook account. Your Facebook account isn’t just a social account. It’s an online ID much like a Google Account. 

There was a time when developers of both apps and services asked users to sign up for an account with them. 

Not only did this mean a longer on-boarding process it also meant users had more account to keep track of and more passwords to remember.

Unfortunately, none of these services give you an option to disconnect the service from your account.

Final Thoughts
When you remove an app or service from your Facebook account, you stop the app from accessing any future information. Apps still have access to your email account and removing it from Facebook won’t undo that. If you want to remove the personal information that’s been collected so far you should look for an option to delete your account with the app or service you removed.

If you think removing an app or service is pointless because it doesn’t wipe all your personal data from the app/service’s database, that’s not true. If you have a malicious app on your hands, you don’t want it accessing any more information than it already has. If it still has access to your account, it might post on your behalf or spam your friends.
