Meta to Wipe Old Facebook Content – Here’s What You Need to Do

Meta has introduced a major update to Facebook content storage certain posts will now be automatically deleted 30 days after being published.

Many people’s primary motivation for using social media is to keep important memories alive and to share them with loved ones.

One of the first and finest examples of this format is Facebook, where users can share details about their lives through their friend-based connections.

Although the majority prefer to keep their posts to text, photos, and the odd video, Facebook’s live stream format does let you share your life as it unfolds and can be helpful for some special events.

Live streaming is a perfect way to keep everyone connected whether it’s ensuring those who can’t attend a special event don’t miss out or hosting a group chat with friends without the hassle of calling each person individually.

According to the reports, these live feeds are now at risk due to Meta’s most recent update, which states that all new live streams would be removed from the platform automatically after 30 days.
