memorialized<\/a>, deleted or left unchanged,\u00a0after friends or family reported the death. Memorializing meant freezing the account so it no longer appeared in searches or notifications.\u00a0Now\u00a0even with the legacy contact, accounts can still be deleted, if wanted so.<\/p>\nThe legacy policy was requested by families and friends of the deceased, along with their wish\u00a0of downloading the user’s photos and making announcements about the situation. Important to know is that this new policy is optional, it can be set only if you want to.<\/p>\n
At the moment, this policy is available only in the US, but the social network plans to have it established around the world also, time frame unknown. When available in your country, and if you want to set it, just follow these simple steps:<\/p>\n
1.\u00a0<\/strong>Go to\u00a0Settings <\/strong>-> Security <\/strong>-> Legacy Contact<\/strong><\/p>\n2. Choose your legacy contact and send a message to that contact (optional)<\/p>\n
3. Select if you want to give permission to your legacy contact to download an archive of the photos, posts and profile info that you’ve shared on Facebook.<\/p>\n
