Technical Tip: Who inherits your Facebook account after you die?
This is a point you have not thought of before, or do not like to think about. What will happen to your Facebook account when your soul misses this world and leaves it ?!

Facebook is not just a platform to read the news and get to know your friends and family until the seventh, but it is like a precious treasure that accumulates assets around the clock for many years, between photos and conversations and publications and live documentation and began to live as we lived. Then there are those apps and pages you've subscribed to automatically publish religious, technical, or news content on your behalf ... What will happen to all of this after everything is gone?
Though there is no limit to thinking about his death, Facebook really cares about that point. For Facebook, every account of a dead person is a digital body that must be dealt with in one form or another; either by disposing of it permanently, archiving the memory of its brain, or keeping it in honor of its owner. Facebook has activated the Legacy Contact feature, which has been available since 2015 in the United States first, and then to the rest of the country around the world later; however, rarely find anyone who knows or uses it despite its importance Adult.
Digital inheritance
As Facebook describes it, "Legacy Contact" is a "person you choose to manage your account and take care of it as a kind of tribute to the memory of its late owner." The same option allows you to cancel your account after you die.
To activate this option, open your account on an Internet browser and preferably on a desktop to access all options. Then, click the Settings button from the drop-down menu on the top right of the page and choose Security Settings and then under the General tab you will find the Legacy Contact option.
From here, you can choose the validity level of the heir's contact, between managing or deleting your account. By default, your friend or relative who you chose as your heir will not know that you have chosen it unless your memory is revived, but of course you can tell that friend or relative of his or her mission to be prepared if you like it.
How to choose your digital heir
This is a very personal question, you will have to answer it yourself, but let's see how things will go with it.
Initially, the terms of the successor contact you chose to manage your account after death will be limited to installing your previous posts at the top of your page, accepting or rejecting friendship requests, and changing your profile and cover image. You can also give it permission to download your photos of videos you've already published, but it will not be able to read your messages in Messenger.

Facebook allows you to choose anyone to be your digital heir, as long as you are a Facebook subscriber. This is an obvious condition, but it is often inappropriate if you choose someone who does not like technology or does not have an account on Facebook, which is almost impossible in our time. In addition, you will inevitably choose someone who has the knowledge and wisdom to honor your memory electronically; so the first criterion here is probably a good technical culture before the degree of kinship or friendship even.
What will happen to your account if you choose to revive the "Legitimate Contact"?
If you choose to manage your account rather than cancel it after you die, your chosen contact will need to communicate with Facebook and apply for your first. Remember the following links well and keep them or give them to the contact of the heir you chose because they are a key to revive your memory on Facebook or cancel the account completely until ...
