How to appoint a Facebook profile executor after death
This page was translated using AI and machine learning.
(Pocket-lint) – Thinking about your digital legacy after you die is something most people start to do, even if it sounds morbid.
Facebook is one of the few services available that has an established way of handling account management in the event of a user’s death. The idea is that the Facebook user can set an executor of sorts, officially known as a legacy contact, who will have limited access to their account. This will allow them to tie up the account and leave it there as a memorial of the person’s life.
So how do you prepare your account for that inevitable day? And what will happen when he’s ready to go? Here’s what you need to know.
What happens to your Facebook after death?
Your Facebook account can be deleted after it passes away, or it can be remembered with a former contact appointed as the account manager.
Remember your account An account
Saved Facebook displays the word “Remember” next to the person’s name on their profile. Depending on the account’s privacy settings, friends can still share memories on the commemorated profile, and the content the person shared with remains visible to the audience they were originally shared with. More importantly, no one can log into a memorial account, and without a legacy contact, it cannot be changed.
What is a legacy Facebook contact?
A legacy contact is someone you can choose to manage your account if it is remembered. They must be 18 years of age or older and be a Facebook user.
If you add a legacy contact, they can:
- Write a pinned post for your profile, such as sharing a final post on your behalf.
- View messages, even if you’ve set your privacy to Only Me.
- Decide who can view and post tributes, if the account has an area for tributes.
- Change who can see posts you’re tagged with.
- Remove tags from you that someone else has posted.
- Respond to requests from new friends, like old family members who weren’t on Facebook yet.
- Update your profile photo and cover photo.
- Request the deletion of your account.
So by choosing a person to have access to your Facebook account after death, you will not let them have your deepest secrets. Access is limited.
