What happens to your Facebook when you die?

This is a question I was asked several times: What happens there on the accounts of your social networks when you die? When Mark Zuckerberg created Facebook, address the question of what happens to someone's Facebook profile after his death was probably one of the last things he was thinking.

However, as Facebook has grown in popularity, it is a question that comes up more and more often. The previous policy of Facebook left the family members of deceased users, the ability to submit a request to "immortalize" profile (a sort of "remembrance"). Today, Facebook provides end users more control over their profiles post mortem.

Starting today - at least in the US - Facebook lets users choose to assign a "contact heir" , which will be empowered to decide what happens to their profile once they are no longer of this world. Obviously, you can change or delete your heir at any time. This may sound morbid, but rather like a will, the establishment of a contact is a way to manage your digital life once you go to the other side.

The powers of the heir
This heir will be able to write a publication that will be displayed at the top of the timeline of the page commemorated , to meet the demands of the user's friends and update their profile and the cover photo.

This contact can also upload photographs of the deceased, messages and profile information as an archive, but it will not be able to write messages on behalf of that person, change its settings and view private messages. Alternatively, Facebook users can ask the company to simply delete their accounts when they die.

You can select the contact and assign the necessary permissions from your settings under the "Security" tab. At present, I do not have this option in my account settings.

The main purpose of this option is to facilitate communication for friends and family members on the key information of the commemoration after death . For more information on how to commemorate a user account, see the support page of Facebook.
