It's
something that we've all thought about before, what kind of legacy we
will leave behind after we're gone. These days we live a lot of our
lives online with multiple social media accounts, but what happens to
them when you die?
You'll be pleased to know that
Facebook has come up with a setting dedicated to that exact
eventuality, allowing you to choose between two options, memorial mode
or a permanent delete. You can access this feature by going to Settings > Privacy > Legacy Contact,
at which point you'll be given the option to either have your account
permanently deleted once Facebook is notified that you have passed or to
choose a legacy contact that will managed your Facebook after you go.
Should you decide to keep your Facebook
account open after you finally go Memorial Mode will allow your friends
to post nice things about you. You won't show up in birthday reminders
of course or the "people you may know" section of the site but then
again you probably won't mind all that much anyway.
You also have to appoint someone to be your legacy contact who will manage your memorial page so make sure you choose wisely.
