    Facebook users are reporting that the social media platform has deleted countless photos, including some that were uploaded years ago.

    The issue has affected users around the world, and there is no clear explanation for why it is happening.

    Some users are reporting that the deleted photos were not in any albums, or that they were uploaded from their mobile devices.

    Others say that all of their photos, including those that were organised and tagged, have been deleted.

    Facebook has not yet acknowledged the issue, but it has said that it is working to restore the deleted photos.

    In the meantime, users are being advised to download their photos from Facebook and to keep them in a safe place.

    The issue has raised concerns about the security of user data on Facebook. Some users are now considering deleting their accounts altogether.

    Here are some tips for protecting your photos from being deleted from Facebook:

    • Download your photos regularly: Go to the "Settings" tab in the Facebook app and then click on "Download a copy of your Facebook data." This will give you a copy of all of your data, including your photos.
    • Keep your photos organised: Create albums for your photos and tag people in them. This will make it easier to find your photos if they are ever deleted from Facebook.
    • Back up your photos to another location: You can back up your photos to a cloud storage service, such as Google Drive or iCloud. This will give you an extra copy of your photos in case they are ever deleted from Facebook.

    The issue of Facebook deleting user photos is a reminder that you should not rely on the social media platform to store your important memories. It is always best to keep a copy of your photos in a safe place.
