Recover deleted photos: We share virtually everything about us on Facebook, from a normal weekend dinner to a family vacation and our own wedding. We simply cannot resist documenting very memorable details on the popular social media platform through photos. What if these photos go missing?
We share so many pictures on Facebook and backing them up is rarely considered. Somewhere in our minds we just believe that once a picture goes up on Facebook, it doesn't run the risk of loss. But that’s not entirely true.
