Deleting the Facebook app from your device will not deactivate your account. It only removes the app from your phone or tablet. To deactivate your Facebook account, log in on a browser, go to Settings, select 'Your Facebook Information', then choose 'Deactivation and Deletion'. Follow the steps to temporarily deactivate your account. This retains your data and allows reactivation anytime. For permanent deletion, select 'Delete Account' instead, understanding this is irreversible after 30 days.
