Facebook today unveiled a new feature that lets users look back at photos and posts from the current calendar date in past years.
The feature is called “On this day,” and it gives users a way to reminisce about anything they’ve shared, or been tagged in, in past years.
The feature is clearly meant as Facebook’s own version of Timehop, a third-party service that lets users of Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, Flickr, and Instagram look at posts from one year earlier.
According to Facebook, You might see past status updates, photos, posts from friends and other things you’ve shared or been tagged in – from one year ago, two years ago, and so on. Only you will see this content unless you decide to share it with your friends.
The feature will be rolling out globally over the next few days, and will be accessible from https://www.facebook.com/onthisday , Facebook’s bookmarks menu, search, News Feed stories, or opt-in notifications on iOS, Android, mobile web, and desktop. Once on the page, you can edit and delete old posts, or decide to share your memories with friends.
From your On This Day page, you’ll also be able to subscribe to a daily notification reminding you to check out that date’s nostalgia feed.
