What is a legacy contact?
A legacy contact is someone you choose to look after your account if it's memorialized. Once your account is memorialized, your legacy contact will have the option to do things like:
- Write a pinned post for your profile (ex: to share a final message on your behalf or provide information about a memorial service)
- Respond to new friend requests (ex: old friends or family members who weren't yet on Facebook)
- Update your profile picture and cover photo
Your legacy contact can't:
- Log into your account
- Remove or change past posts, photos and other things shared on your Timeline
- Read messages you've sent to other friends
- Remove any of your friends
