Facebook is so commonplace in our lives that it\u2019s no surprise people believe some wacky things about how Facebook really operates. Some of the beliefs about Facebook\u2019s practices aren\u2019t all that surprising. For example, isn\u2019t it kind of strange that you have to search to <\/span>find hidden messages on the Facebook app<\/span><\/a>? Strange or not, we\u2019ll bust three of the most common myths people believe about Facebook.<\/span><\/p>\n

Myth #1: Facebook will soon become a paid subscription service.
\n<\/b>
\nReality: Facebook repeatedly lets its users know its pricing situation on its main page, saying \u201cIt\u2019s free and always will be.\u201d But this tagline still doesn\u2019t stop posts from circulating every so often about how Facebook will imminently start charging users. The posts often circulate because they promise that if the user reposts the status, he or she will not be charged when everyone else is. Facebook operates by selling its users data to companies, however, so the money the company makes from its users\u2019 free data is likely worth more than a subscription would ever be.<\/span><\/p>\n

Myth #2: There are ways to see who\u2019s viewed your profile.<\/p>\n

<\/b><\/b>Reality: There are no apps, no websites, and no software you can download to see who has viewed your Facebook profile, but that fact doesn\u2019t mean that this myth doesn\u2019t have staying power. How many times have you seen spam or articles claiming they can let you know who has viewed your profile? But Facebook has repeatedly let users know that the website itself doesn\u2019t let users know who\u2019s viewed their profiles \u2014 and third-party apps won\u2019t work either.<\/span><\/p>\n

Myth #3: You can quit Facebook at any time.<\/b><\/p>\n

Reality: You can deactivate your Facebook profile at any time, but reactivating your account is as simple as logging in again. To delete your account permanently, you have to apply for a deletion, but Facebook says that deleting your account entirely off of the social networking site could take months. While you\u2019re trying to get your account completely deleted, too, the deletion process will be discontinued if you accidentally log in anywhere, too. Facebook really, <\/span>really<\/span><\/i> doesn\u2019t want to see you go. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These myths aren\u2019t true, but as you can see, many of them are widely believed. Have you ever believed something that turned out not to be true about Facebook? Let us know in the comments.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
