《English Translation》

小宝: Brother, yesterday I heard Mom say that when someone passes away, their WeChat Moments will disappear. Is that true?
小刚: I saw the news too. Customer service said if you don’t log in for a long time, like over a year, the account might be reclaimed.
小宝: What does 'reclaimed' mean? Is it like a toy being taken away?
小刚: Sort of. It means everything in the account will be cleared—profile picture, Moments, and status will all be gone.
小宝: Then what if I want to keep my photos?
小刚: You can back them up to your computer or a USB drive. That way, even if the account is gone, your photos will still be there.
