Facebook Always Thinking Ahead! LMAO: New App Deletes All Traces Of Your Ex!

These days, the digital trail of a relationship is a long one. There are emails, Gchats, text messages and, of course, the rampant evidence on Facebook. But what happens when that sweet romance turns sour?

KillSwitch, a new app launched on Valentine's Day, is looking to make breakups "suck less" by surreptitiously deleting any Facebook history of your ex from your timeline.

"We have one friend, love her to death, she's been very unlucky in love," Clara de Soto, a co-creator of the app who works for Clearhart Digital, told The Huffington Post on Wednesday. "Every time that she would break up with a boyfriend, she would deactivate her Facebook account. And when she'd finally muster up the courage to reactivate it, it was like navigating this minefield of these shards of her last relationship, pictures of when she was happy and in love."

The wish for some mechanism to prevent that heartache resulted in KillSwitch.

For $0.99, the app will select a "target" from your friend list and remove pictures of you together -- the ones you've posted, as well as those you're tagged in. It will also rid your timeline of references to your ex in wall posts and status updates.

Bonus: Your ex will not be notified they've been digitally deleted from your timeline. The goal, de Soto explained, isn't to be vindictive; it's to help people heal and move on from their past relationships.
