If you’re an admin of a Facebook page but no longer want the responsibility, you can remove yourself in just a few steps. In 2025, Facebook still allows admins to step down easily through the page settings. The only catch you need to make sure there’s at least one other admin left, or you won’t be able to leave.
This guide explains everything clearly, step by step, so you can safely remove yourself as an admin without causing issues for the page or its followers.
What Is a Facebook Page Admin?
A Facebook page admin is the highest role available on a page. Admins can manage all settings, publish posts, control permissions, add or remove other roles, and even delete the page.
If you’ve been managing a page but no longer want to, you’ll need to remove yourself from that role.
Can You Remove Yourself as a Facebook Page Admin?
Yes, you can remove yourself as an admin. Facebook gives you full control over your role. The only condition is that at least one admin must remain on the page. If you’re the only admin, you’ll first need to assign someone else before you can leave.
How to Remove Yourself as Admin on a Facebook Page (Mobile & Desktop)

Tap Settings (gear icon).

If you were also an editor or moderator, you’ll lose those permissions too.
You can still like, follow, and comment on the page as a regular Facebook user.
