You can deactivate Messenger, but only if your Facebook account is deactivated. To do this:

1. Open Messenger and tap your profile picture.
2. Go to Account Settings → Your Facebook Information.
3. Choose Deactivation and Deletion.
4. Select Deactivate Account and follow the prompts.

Once your Facebook account is deactivated, Messenger will also be deactivated.

Here’s how I usually deactivate Messenger:

1. Open the Messenger app and tap your profile picture in the top left.
2. Scroll down and tap Account Settings → Personal Information → Account Ownership and Control → Deactivation and Deletion.
3. Select Deactivate Messenger and follow the prompts.
4. Confirm your password and tap Deactivate.

Keep in mind, you must deactivate your Facebook account first—Messenger can’t be deactivated on its own if your Facebook account is still active.

You cannot completely disable Messenger before you disable your Facebook account. As soon as you disconnect Facebook, you will still be able to use Messenger, unless you disable it independently. In order to do so, tap Messenger app > profile picture > Legal & Policies > Deactivate Messenger. Thereafter, fill in your password and verify.
