It has since announced plans to test legacy contacts starting this month.<\/p>\n<p>The legacy contact feature was rolled out on an opt-in basis, meaning you had to explicitly decide if you wanted your profile contacted after your death. Facebook users are also able to select up to five \u201clegacy\u201d contacts who will receive notifications about his or her death even if they weren\u2019t Facebook friends with the deceased person\u2014this group of \u201clegacy\u201d contacts can be selected from a list of the deceased\u2019s Facebook friends, or existing contacts elsewhere.<\/p>\n<h2>How to memorialized Death Report Of Someone facebook Account <\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container\" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"675\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YhJ-5ut04Zw?feature=oembed\" title=\"How to memorialized Death Report Of Someone facebook Account 2021 || Fb Id Timeline Off death report\" width=\"1200\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Facebook users who signed up for the feature will also have their accounts memorialized after they pass away. This means their profiles are locked down and can only be viewed by named Facebook friends or family members who want to preserve the account as a sort of digital shrine to the user. is who the feature is intended to help.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook\u2019s policy for their user\u2019s applying is 16 years old: those who are younger than 18 must have been added by a parent or guardian and if you\u2019re not of legal age, your friend can only receive updates from you. Facebook confirmed they will keep to this guideline when legacy contacts roll out and users under 18 will need a parent or guardian involved in memorialization if they want to opt-in to be contacted after death.<\/p>\n<p>how do you plan on having your account managed after death? I have no clue what to do.. facebook should really educate their users about this feature and how it works. like if someone wants their profile to be memorialized, but they don\u2019t want the kids of their friends from high school to see pictures of them when they were younger, then that can be an option too. Reply Delete<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t understand why Facebook doesn\u2019t have a create an obituary page or something similar for death notification. It seems like such a simple thing that could save so much grief for family members and friends with social media accounts leaving them unexplained messages from dead people\u2026 Reply Delete<\/p>\n<p>I think this is such an important conversation! I just stumbled on this article and found it so interesting. I don\u2019t think any of us realized that we wouldn\u2019t have control over our own accounts when we die. And that seems really wrong to me! I feel like if you had a Facebook account, your heirs should be able to manage them. There has to be some sort of family manager where they can update photos or edit the bio or something because there are things many people put in their bios like \u201cto my best friend\u201d, \u201cmy favorite niece\/granddaughter\/sister\u201d \u2013 how could those stay up? It feels so personal and would seem pretty harsh for someone else to be viewing it. Most people would want certain pictures private as well, but again, without anything written down, how do you know which ones need to stay private? I feel like this is something Facebook should be addressing in a bigger way. Usually, when you sign up for something, there is some sort of contract that outlines things like how they will manage your account after death (I\u2019m talking about the companies here). But with Facebook, it seems like these details were never put into place and now we\u2019re stuck with them. It\u2019s too bad because many people use social media sites to share pieces of their lives with family members and friends \u2013 many times even creating a digital legacy! It\u2019s so sad that we wouldn\u2019t have a say or control over what happened to our accounts\u2026 Reply Delete<\/p>\n<p>Having been hit twice by deaths in my online life, I fully support the idea that you should be able to \u2018leave instructions\u2019 about your account.

When I first started being her friend on Facebook she was very much into photography and shared lots of beautiful photos on her page. She has since passed, but the pictures are still there and I don\u2019t think it\u2019s appropriate for family members (some who may not even know she is deceased) to see these intimate photos of their loved one. In my case, I have decided to keep them posted just in case anyone wants to get in touch with me after all this time, but I do appreciate that people should be able to decide how they want their account handled if something were to happen. Reply Delete<\/p>\n<p>I am sure someone will comment \u201cbut what about social media addiction?\u201d Well\u2026 1: a person can start an account without submitting any info, 2: if a person does submit info, they can still be removed from the account after death, or 3: there is also all of this information up here that you\u2019re more than welcome to use to judge whether or not a person\u2019s death was as addicting as it possibly could be. Delete<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve never had an issue with social media addiction until I read these comments! I\u2019m shocked at how many people are having problems due to it. Delete<\/p>\n<p>I have been noticing over the past few years, my mother-in-law\u2019s behavior has started to change. She has become obsessive about Facebook and she posts so much every day\u2026 Her friend\u2019s pages\/posts (she is now 61) are on 12 different screens around her home. When we visit, she gets upset if someone else is on her computer. She seems to forget the conversation and get confused if you say anything that is even remotely about Facebook or any of her friends, their names come out of nowhere in the middle of a sentence! It has gotten worse over the past year (she moved at the same time). I think this is pretty sad. No one should have so much going on inside their head\u2026 So many different conversations running through it at once that they can not concentrate on anyone else for more than 5 minutes. (This is what she calls \u201ccraziness\u201d) I feel bad because we are typical baby boomers, when did this happen? We were raised with morals and having manners &amp; being children-like adults and not being so self-absorbed.
