Together App
We taught all about the Experiments to our FSC Staff last night. A question came up about the Together App. Under the "My Story" category what happens to all of the stories that an individual might contribute/ add with the miriad of options after they pass away/are deceased? Rules at present state that their FamilySearch Account is deleted. All these stories would be lost to their descendants???????
Under some of the "My Story" activities (in my account) that are family oriented, it shows Ward members as my family members most likely due to I am a member of a Ward Group to help with ordinances. Any way to remove my Ward members????

The current rules state that the account is closed, not deleted. There's a big difference. And in any case, the memories will still exist. How visible they are will depend on the Visibility that is set on each Memory. You can learn more details in the help article that covers this topic: What happens to memories after the contributor dies?

So at some point these entries will be migrated from the Together app to a person's memories?

Some of the activities you do in the Together app already create memories. That's not something that will happen "at some point" but rather happens immediately. One example of many is My Story - My Family Members - (ancestor) - Funny Sayings. I added a funny saying for my deceased grandmother in Together, and that appeared as a Memory tagged to her. For those cases, the memories follow the usual rules for memories when a contributor dies, and that's what I described in my previous response.
As for the other data that exists only in the Together app, I don't know exactly what happens to that when a group member dies and their account is closed. Presumably, the deceased will no longer be a member of the group, since only living people with active FamilySearch accounts can be group members. I assume their contributions would follow the same process as for anyone else who leaves the group.
