How To Disable Facebook Timeline?

Facebook Timeline

Facebook is going through a number of changes these days, and one of them is Facebook Timeline. We have posted a Step by Step Tutorial to enable Facebook Timeline and some of our visitors asked us the method to disable it. We figured it out and made a tutorial. Check it out after the jump.

Facebook Timeline feature is not publicly launched now, and only developers can use it. The method of enabling we posted is by making a dummy app. If you want to disable Facebook Timeline just delete that app.

How to Disable Facebook Timeline Feature:

Follow the steps and your profile will be back in the old Facebook GUI.

Step 1:

Open this URL https://developers.facebook.com/apps and click on “Edit App“.

Step 2:

On the left sidebar, click on “Delete App“.

Step 3:

Now Click on “Confirm“.

Then Click on “Okay“.

Your Facebook Timeline App is deleted and your profile is now back in the old Facebook Interface.

IMPORTANT: This Method only works for those profile who had enabled facebook timeline before official release.

Who enabled timeline after official release with one button you can disable facebook timeline using this method:

    The link you posted to get rid of time line does not show “edit” it. Only shows “create+”. Is there another way to get rid of it? Also the app does not show on my list of apps.
