Facebook will help soothe broken hearts: Try the Break-Up App!

Facebook understands that relationships that fall apart are hard enough to handle without having to read the status updates and shared posts of your ex. The social media network knows that the temptation to stalk and keep tabs on someone is highly enticing even when you don’t want to – even if Facebook was the cause of the break-up in the first place!

To help making the break-up process easier, Facebook is helping people make a clean cut without having to see old photos in which they are tagged. Facebook will ask you if you want to use the new tools when you change your relationship status.

“This work is part of our ongoing effort to develop resources for people who may be going through difficult moments in their lives,” wrote Facebook Product Manager Kelly Winters in a blog post Thursday. “We hope these tools will help people end relationships on Facebook with greater ease, comfort and sense of control.”
