Factory Reset My Phone - Disable App not showing

[Android Central Question]

I did a factory reset on my phone today, prior to this, I had Facebook disabled on my phone so the app would not show up! Now I try to go in and disable once more, and the disabled is grayed out. I tried to reset it yet again and still nothing!!!!! I do not want this on my phone; I was doing just fine before this! My boyfriends is still disabled and we have the same phone!

Welcome to Android Central! Which phone? Is there a reason you did a factory reset?

 

[Rukbat]

Did you install Facebook after you did the reset? If not, the reset didn't reset properly (after a factory reset, Facebook shouldn't be on the phone). Do another factory reset, then install Facebook if you still want it. (Unless it's installed as carrier bloat, then it's a system app and can't be disabled unless the phone is rooted.)

Also, if the phone recently got a system update, the manufacturer might have removed the ability to Disable Facebook. That's something you'd have to take up with the manufacturer.
