Before learning the way to remove yourself from the Facebook page, you need to understand the reasons. Undoubtedly, you may have different reasons to do so. But I have seen that people are facing common reasons that I have mentioned below:

Mostly, business owners or page managers use their laptops/computers to manage their accounts. It is common for them to deal with every section through their laptops because of the wider interface. But sometimes, it is important to take instant actions for which users pick their mobiles to remove them from the admin panel.

That’s why I have shared how to remove myself as an admin on Facebook page via both devices. Let me show you a step-by-step process to do so.

Step 6. Now, tap on the “Settings” option from the same left vertical bar

Step 7. Tap on the “New Pages Experience”

Step 8. Click on the “Three Dots” given beside the profile name

Step 9. Choose “Remove Access”

Step 10. Enter the password and click on the “Confirm” button

It will remove that profile from your Facebook page. Doesn’t matter whether you want to remove yourself from the page or any other admin, you can do this with these steps.

Step 1. Login to your Facebook account

Step 2. Click on your profile picture given in the top right corner

Why Am I Unable to Remove Myself From the Admin Panel of Facebook Page?

Sometimes, I have seen that people are unable to remove themselves from the Facebook page. The only reason that is restricting them is solo admin. In simple words, if you are the solo admin of the page, you won’t be able to remove yourself from the list.

If you want to remove yourself, you have to add another person as an admin to your page. Then, you will get the option to remove access for yourself from the Facebook page. But if you are still facing the issue, you need to connect with Facebook support who will guide you in that specific circumstance.

It will be a process of a few minutes but it can save you from a huge loss like a data breach. Moreover, you just need to remember the password of the profile to remove access. If you don’t remember it, you won’t be able to remove access and have to face identity verification problems.
