People are only just realising what happens to your Facebook profile after you die

Many of us use Facebook to keep in touch with friends and family, share our thoughts or what we're doing and pictures from our everyday life.

For those who have had an account on the social media platform since its inception in the early 2000s, it serves as a documentation of their lives. It has interactions with old school friends, shows what you were interested, and photos from various parts of your time on Earth.

As morbid as it might be to think about, when you eventually pass away, it can be quite sad to think about that profile just disappearing – but it turns out it doesn't have to.
