FACEBOOK users have been warned beloved video memories face being deleted unless they act soon.
The social networking giant is making changes to how Facebook Live videos are kept on the platform.
Until now, people could relive memories shown to family and friends at any time via their profile.
But the Mark Zuckerberg-owned firm is adding a new life limit for them to be hosted on the platform.
From today, new Facebook Lives will only be available 30 days after they were broadcast.
After that, they will be automatically deleted.
Users can convert the footage into a Reel video – though Reels have a 90 second time limit.
There’s also the option to download Facebook Live videos to keep on your phone, with a new tool.
As for your existing Facebook Live videos, the social network is providing a bit more time to save them.
Meta says the deletion process will “take place in waves over the coming months”.
Users will receive a notification warning them when a previous Facebook Live is facing deletion.
Once received, they will have 90 days to back it up or lose the video forever.
“As part of this transition, all live videos currently older than 30 days will be removed, and you will not be able to access them anymore,” Meta says.
Users will find a new single download and bulk download option on their profiles going forward.
So if you have special memories such as music concerts you attended or a wedding you live streamed, you might want to save them while you still can.
To download an individual Facebook Live video, follow these steps:
DANIEL DUBOIS is set to defend his IBF heavyweight title against Joseph Parker this Saturday night.
The Brit, 27, defended his belt by knocking Anthony Joshua out at Wembley last September.
Now standing in Dubois’ way is Kiwi Parker, who is riding a five-fight win streak since losing to Triple D’s former conqueror Joe Joyce in 2022.
Ahead of the huge championship bout, here is how the great and good of the boxing world see the contest playing out.
“I think Daniel Dubois is going to do the job.
“I think Joseph Parker is a great character, I think a lot of him as a character, I think he’s great, but this is boxing, I tell the f***ing truth as you know.
“Daniel Dubois is gonna demolish him inside the distance.
“I think it’s going to be a great fight.”
“It’s a top, top fight, I think the first three or four rounds are key,” Bellew told talkSPORT. “If Joe can see through them I think he gets the job done, but Daniel Dubois is in a rich vein of form.
“He [Dubois] rolls the dice every time, he lets his hands go and has no fear at the moment.
“But I just think if Joseph Parker has been diligent in his camp, he can get the job done. He’s a better boxer, he’s got more skills and skillset, but he isn’t as powerful as Dubois.
“Also he isn’t as young as Daniel Dubois and youth can catch up with you. Dubois is so strong and lets his hands go, a lot of the heavyweights are cautious about it.”
“Good fight man. Joseph Parker has surprised me every time he has fought.
“He comes back and puts on a great performance and is back in the mix again.
“Whereas Dubois with that fight he fought against Joshua and even when he fought (Filip) Hrgovic, that’s the first time I saw him fight and I thought this guy’s a hard guy to beat.
“He’s a very good boxer, so if I was to pick a fighter to win that fight, it would be Dubois. He’s the younger and fresher fighter.”
“I favour Dubois.
“Both in good form, good momentum.
“Parker showed a lot of nuts to get up off the floor twice to get past Zhang.
“And he’s put himself in the picture now for another world title challenge.”
“Don’t get me wrong, Dubois might knock him out, but I just don’t think Daniel should be overlooking him one bit.
“And, you know, from a few things that I saw the other day, maybe he’s doing that, and I think it’d be a fool to do so.
“I imagine with Don Charles around, he won’t let him do that, but when the fighter has sort of got that in his mind, maybe that’s a bit of a red flag for me.
“So I think I’m going to say Joseph Parker on the points.”
A WOMAN was left fuming after forking out almost £30 to make sure her niece can attend her pal’s Build-a-Bear party – only to go home without the toy.
The alleged incident was posted on TikTok by the user @unpluggedmoments who regularly shares stories she’s stumbled across on Reddit.
According to the TikToker, the anonymous auntie claimed her seven-year-old niece had been invited to a birthday bash by one of her classmates.
Seeing as the woman’s brother and sister-in-law were busy working, the aunt agreed to take care of the party and was handed over the invite with all the necessary information.
”So, the plan is meet at the food court at the mall, have lunch, then go down to Build-a-Bear and afterwards meet at the birthday girl’s house for cake and ice cream.”
After enjoying a pizza with all the kids, the group and the adults headed to the Build-a-Bear store – which the aunt claimed hadn’t been booked in for a party.
”It’s just like a regular customer coming in. There are eight kids, including the birthday girl. No party hosts or anything.
”If you book through Build-a-Bear, they have this little agenda schedule that they go through,” said the aunt.
While all the kids seemed to be having fun building the fluffy toy, it all changed once the group had left the shop to take a snap outside, where the mum allegedly demanded the kids to give their new bears to the birthday girl.
According to the aunt, the mother said: ”Okay, thank you, everyone. Now, if you could hand over your bear to Sarah*.
”Thank you so much for building a person bear, so that Sarah can remember you by.”
Totally baffled, the Redditor said she thought the birthday guests would be able to keep the toys for themselves and even took a proper look at the invitation again.
”It didn’t say anything, so I just assumed. I just shouldn’t have assumed, right?” she shared in the now-viral video, which has racked up close to 941k likes in just two days.
After the school pals and their parents arrived to Sarah’s house, they all handed their gifts to the seven-year-old and sang her ‘Happy Birthday’.
”Birthday cake, have ice cream. Then it’s supposedly game time – what is game time?
”We were all watching Sarah play with all her other animals that the kids had just made.”
Lost for words, the aunt then claimed she tapped the mum on the shoulder to clear the confusion.
School mums are facing a new dilemma when it comes to their children’s birthday parties.
According to a recent discussion, inviting the entire class to a birthday party has become a contentious issue.
Some mums argue that it’s the polite thing to do, ensuring no child feels left out.
However, others believe that inviting the whole class can be overwhelming and unnecessary, especially if your child isn’t close to everyone.
Here are some tips to navigate this tricky situation:
”I assumed the guests were gonna keep it, so I spent an extra $35 (£30) on accessories and everything.
”She goes ‘Oh, I can look into getting that back for you’.”
Once the short conversation was over, the aunt grabbed her niece and left the party – with the fellow mums following suit – and the pair went back to the mall to make a new Build-a-Bear for the little girl to take home.
”I should not have assumed. But clearly, next time if you all are going to do that, could you please put ‘Every child will be able to build their own bear at their own cost’.
”I would’ve been fine with it.”
More than 38k people flooded to share their thoughts on the video, which has won over an astronomical 11million views so far.
One wrote: ”That mum single-handedly ended all of her daughter’s friendships.”
Someone else chimed in: ”that mum was 100% in the wrong.”
A third commented: ” ‘No gift necessary, the kids will be building a bear for Sara, take home bears can be made at parents expense’ THAT IS WHAT THE INVITE SHOULD HAVE SAID.”
”Sarah is gonna be having a lot of family only parties for a while,” thought another web user.

A BRITISH tourist is thought to have died after falling off a cliff while trekking in India.
The 27-year-old was walking with a friend in the Dhauladhar mountains near the Himalayas, when he plunged to his death.
It’s thought they were unaware of a local ban on high-altitude trekking in the winter seasons, cops said.
On February 14, the pair embarked on the trek from Dharamkot to the snowline via Triund in Dharamshala.
The Brit is believed to have slipped during their descent from Triund, seriously injuring himself.
The tourist “suffered an accident and sustained rib injuries,” Indian police said.
His pal went back down to get help from cops and locals, with a team of rescuers immediately dispatched, local media claims.
A rescue team, consisting of the fire department, police, and the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), arrived at the scene late at night.
Despite their efforts, the Brit succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased on Monday.
An official stated the tourist “was rescued but passed away from his wounds.”
The Brit’s body was taken to a hospital in Dharamshala for medical examination.

CHELTENHAM has come a step closer with the handicap entries being published and there are some interesting contenders.
Firstly, Dan Skelton has entered Langer Dan in the Coral Cup as he bids to land a hat-trick of wins.

It will surely guarantee him top weight and I can’t find a Coral Cup winner from a mark higher than Whisper’s 153 in 2014.
If you think the miracle is on then 25-1 is on offer.
The Skeltons do have one for the race on a more attractive mark – JOYEUX MACHIN.
This eight-year-old has caught the eye on his past two runs – finishing strongly after being a long way back earlier in the contest.
He looks to be crying out for the 2m5f of the Coral Cup and he’s also a 25-1 poke.
At this stage, he’s the one I’d be having an each-way interest in with most firms going non-runner, no bet.
I am a huge fan of BROADWAY BOY and it’s good to see him entered in the Ultima.
His best performances have come at Cheltenham around the 3m1f trip of this race and his mark is only 4lb higher than his big handicap win at the track last season.
I know he has a poor run at Prestbury Park at New Year’s Day to overcome but he’s never performed in a small field and these handicaps are much more to his liking.
He will be coming into the Ultima nice and fresh which is another plus and the current 16-1 on offer looks a cracking each-way price.
I am happy to see Willy De Houelle in the Fred Winter entries and he’s now 6-1 having been tipped here at 10s a couple of weeks ago.
But there is one other horse I like in this big handicap in BEYOND YOUR DREAMS who is available at 16-1 and looks good non-runner, no bet.
She won in a big field at Fairyhouse in December despite making errors and looks capable of major improvement.
She’ll be hovering pretty low in the handicap but would be dangerous if getting a run.
Joseph O’Brien’s filly will be part of a very strong team heading to the meeting in the famous green and gold JP McManus colours.

A HILLY island off the northeastern coast of Scotland is known for its natural beauty and incredible archaeological significance.
Often referred to as the ‘Egypt of the north’ for this reason, the island forms part of the Orkney archipelago but is visited less frequently than some of it’s larger counterparts.
Rousay lies just a couple of miles from Orkney Mainland and is the fifth largest island in the group.
It might have little in common with Egypt in terms of climate and landscape, but its collection of over 150 archaeological sites are what earned it its moniker.
The island has the highest concentration of brochs – roundhouse buildings from the Iron Age – anywhere in Scotland.
Of these Iron Age stone towers, the ruin at Midhowe Broch is most visited, sitting on the coastline and offering impressive views across the water.
But a short walk away from the broch’s sweeping vistas, tucked underground, is Midhowe Chambered Cairn — one of the many awe-inspiring burial sites that inspired Rousay’s nickname.
Rather ominously also called the ‘Great Ship of Death’, Midhowe Chambered Cairn is a 5,000-year-old, 32-metre-long tomb in which the remains of 25 people were found.
It is considered a must-see, with tourists calling it “mega”, “brilliantly displayed” and an “unbelievable place”.
There are a number of other notable burial chambers on Rousey, including Taversoe Tuick, Blackhammer Cairn and the Knowe of Yarso.
The latter features 17 human skulls, while visitors can climb down into both Taversoe Tuick and Blackhammer Cairn as well as peering into them through skylights on the grassy banks.
Midhowe Chambered Cairn is also not actually a ship, although one can be found elsewhere on the island.
A viking cemetery which included two boat burials was discovered at Westness, and further excavations uncovered a Norse drinking hall on the site.
All of these fascinating attractions are free of charge, making exploring the island extremely budget-friendly.
For a personal touch, Rousay Tours offers guided trips around the island and its historical landmarks for £60 per adult and £35 per under-16, but you can also learn about the island’s past for free by visiting the exhibition at the Rousey Heritage Centre.
Rousay can be reached by ferry — Orkney Ferries run a service five times a day from Tingwall and a return ticket only costs £3 without a car (or £13 with one).
The ferry can also be used to go island hopping between Rousay and its neighbours, Egilsay and Wyre.
If you’d prefer to stay put on Rousay and experience the island for longer than a day trip, you’ll need to book in advance as there’s just one place stay.
The Taversoe is the only B&B on the island and offers accommodation with gorgeous sea views.
Rousay also only has one shop plus an additional honesty shop on the pier offering self-service drinks and snacks, so there isn’t much choice when it comes to stocking up for your picnic.
The island is a popular destination for lovers of flora and fauna — it’s a great place for some bird watching and seals can often be spotted off the coast at Saviskaill Bay.
Head down to the shore of the bay to get closer to the animals and some rockpools, or escape to Scockness Beach for more secluded sands.
While the wild Scottish beaches on Rousay might not bear any tangible similarities to Egypt, the island’s natural wonder and unearthed treasures show it’s not a far-fetched comparison.
HERE are a few more islands The Sun loves.
Foula: A remote island in the Shetlands with one of the highest sheer sea cliffs in Britain and which uses a different calendar to the rest of the country.
Cumbrae: Home to the UK’s smallest cathedral, Cumbrae is only 10 minutes from the mainland and considered by some to be Scotland’s “most accessible island”.
Isle of Rum: A diamond-shaped island with just 40 residents known for its population of red deer. In 2024 it was named an International Dark Sky Sanctuary due to being a perfect stargazing spot.
Unst: The island of Unst is home to Skaw Beach — the most northerly sandy beach in the UK.
Eilean Na Moine: This tiny island played a big part in the Harry Potter films. Potterheads may recognise it as the location of Dumbledore’s grave, but you don’t have to be a fan to appreciate the isle’s gorgeous setting in the middle of Loch Eilt.
A YOUNG Brit has been found dead at the foot of a cliff at a popular ski resort in the French Alps.
The lifeless body of the 23-year-old, who has not been publicly named, was found on Monday morning in Avoriaz, which sits on a shelf above the town of Morzine.
A local police spokesman told The Sun: “The deceased is an English national who is thought to have been skiing on Sunday evening. His family have been informed.”
It’s understood the man had been skiing with pals on Sunday before partying at popular apres ski spot La Folie Douce in Avoriaz.
It’s thought he then decided to ski down the mountainside alone and got lost.
Friends raised the alarm when he didn’t return to his accommodation.
Search and rescue teams scoured the area for the Brit before discovering his body the following day.
Police believe he may have taken a wrong turn, realised he was in trouble and took his skis off before plunging to his death.
The body of the victim was initially evacuated by helicopter, before being declared dead by emergency workers.
Local prosecutors and judicial police have opened an inquiry “to determine the cause of death,” said the source.
The body is thought to have been taken to Chamonix to begin with, where the corpse was identified by next-of-kin.
The death happened in a notorious blackspot for skiers in the French Alps.
Accidents are common around the cliff on which Avoriaz sits, especially when the light starts to fade in the evening, or when there is mist around, and skiers drift off the piste.
In 2018, a 13-year-old boy lost his life in the same area, after falling 80 metres from the cliff.
He was found at the bottom of the drop, with his badly injured 10-year-old brother beside him.
Both had been out skiing, and got lost in the late afternoon, before plunging off the cliff.
In March last year a 68-year-old British skier died after a violent collision with a tree at Avoriaz.
The skier had left the Covagnes piste and hit a tree at high speed after swerving to avoid hitting a group of skiers blocking the way.
Avoriaz is situated in the heart of the Portes du Soleil ski area, one of the largest cross-border ski domains in the world, connecting 12 resorts between France and Switzerland.
A Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) spokesperson said: “We are supporting the family of a British man who died in France and are in contact with the local authorities.”
A WIFE stabbed her husband to death and buried him in the garden after recording her abuse against him, a court heard.
Maureen Rickards, 50, allegedly knifed husband Jeremy, 65, in the chest and through the heart at home in Canterbury, Kent.
She then stuffed Jeremy, who was wearing just his underwear, in a cupboard in their bedroom, it was said.
Canterbury Crown Court heard Rickards then wrapped her husband up in bin bags and transferred him to the garden where she buried him under grass cuttings.
Jeremy was reported missing by family and friends after he was last seen alive on June 7.
Jurors were told Rickards sent WhatsApp messages to their daughter Chima pretending to be her dad and claimed he was in Saudi Arabia.
She later allegedly told Chima that Jeremy had taken his own life on June 9.
His body was discovered on July 11 after police investigating his disappearance noticed a “sickly smell” in the garden.
The court was told in the lead-up to his death, Jeremy was seen in a “battered and bruised” state by a taxi driver and staff at his local pub.
Prosecutor Nick Corsellis KC said Rickards had subjected her husband to domestic abuse, which became “more severe” in his final days.
After her arrest, police found voice recordings on her phone taken as she berated her “frail and vulnerable” husband while he lay confused on the floor, it was said.
The court was told that in one recording, Rickards could be heard “voicing her intent to harm and kill”.
On June 6, a neighbour saw Jeremy “profoundly” injured with a cut to his forehead and bruises to his eyes and ears.
When asked what happened, he allegedly replied: “Maureen was in a bad mood with me and with everyone.”
The geologist was reported missing the following day after he was seen returning home from work.
Police visited the home but found “no trace of [his] existence” – with Rickards claiming the pair were separated.
Jurors heard she also told them she had not spoken to Jeremy “for weeks” but was arrested for fraud after she used his bank cards.
Rickards allegedly purchased alcohol, cigarettes, Doritos, toilet paper, Febreze air freshener, and Vanish carpet shampoo with his money.
When she was re-arrested after Jeremy’s body was found, she asked officers: “Murder? Murder? Did you say murder? Found what body?”
Police later found Jeremy’s DNA on bloodstains on the carpet, the court heard.
Rickards’ DNA was also discovered on the bin bag where his body had been wrapped up.
A post mortem revealed Jeremy had suffered five stab wounds – two 11cm deep – as well as multiple fractured ribs, a fracture to a bone in his neck and a broken nose.
There was also a “sharp force” stab wound to his head in which metal fragments were present.
Mr Corsellis said: “The Crown suggest that the number and the extent [of injuries] found rule out any realistic suggestion that Jeremy Rickards had suffered a tragic accident or indeed that these wounds were self-inflicted.
“There is [also] evidence of previous injuries consistent with Mr Rickards having been a victim of unlawful attack in the past.
“The Crown’s case is that Mr Rickards had been the subject of severe domestic abuse at the hands of the defendant in the lead-up to this murder.”
Rickards denies murder between June 7 and July 11 last year.
The trial continues.
