From daily updates to memorable moments, our Instagram profiles serve as a vibrant timeline of our lives. But have you ever pondered over what happens to your Instagram account when you die?
Instagram, like other social media platforms, has established policies for dealing with user accounts posthumously. It offers two primary options to manage your Instagram account after your demise: Memorialization and Account Deletion.
Memorialization
Instagram's Memorialization feature allows your account to be preserved as a place of remembrance. Once your account is memorialized, it is secured to prevent anyone from logging in, and the word “Remembering” is added next to your name.
Account Deletion
If you choose not to leave a digital footprint, you can opt to have your Instagram account permanently deleted after your death. This option ensures that your photos, videos, and other information are erased from Instagram's servers, leaving no trace of your account.
While these options offer a way to manage your Instagram legacy, they require foresight, planning, and communication with your loved ones. This is where Snug steps in.
At Snug, we understand the importance of preserving memories and ensuring a smooth transition for those we leave behind. Our platform helps you either choose a legacy contact who can manage your memorialized account, or opt for account deletion after your death. We ensure that your wishes are communicated clearly, thereby eliminating guesswork and potential conflicts among your loved ones.
But Snug is more than just managing your Instagram afterlife. We provide a comprehensive approach to estate planning, helping you manage your digital assets, financial affairs, and end-of-life wishes on an easy-to-navigate and secure platform.
