Facebook to Automatically Delete Live Videos After 30 Days

Meta announces new policy for Facebook Live, giving users limited time to save their old broadcasts before permanent removal.

Starting February 19, Facebook Live videos will only be stored for 30 days before being automatically deleted.
Users will receive notifications via email and the app, providing 90 days to download, transfer, or convert older videos before deletion.
Meta cites alignment with industry standards and limited long-term viewership as reasons for the policy change.
New tools are being introduced to simplify downloading or transferring videos to cloud storage platforms like Dropbox or Google Drive.
Users can also postpone deletion for six months or convert clips into 90-second Reels to preserve key moments.
