1. Memorialized Account

  • Preserves your account: A memorialized account keeps your profile visible, but with the word "Remembering" next to your name.

  • Allows tributes: Friends can share memories on your timeline.

  • Maintains privacy: Only confirmed friends can see the profile and share posts.


2. Legacy Contact

  • Designate a person: You can choose a trusted person to manage your memorialized account.

  • Manage posts and tributes: The legacy contact can write a pinned post, respond to friend requests, and update your profile picture and cover photo.



3. Account Deletion

  • Delete permanently: You can set your account to be permanently deleted upon your death.

  • Ensures privacy: All your data will be removed from Facebook.



With Life Vault, you can securely store your wishes regarding your Facebook account and other digital assets. Ensure your digital legacy is handled according to your preferences by recording this information for your executors or trusted contacts.
