Want to see Facebook Memories from the past? It's easy! Every day, Facebook will show you past posts, photos, and interactions from today's date over the years in the Memories section, which used to be called "On This Day." This wikiHow article will teach you where to find your Facebook memories in the Facebook mobile app, as well as Facebook on the web.
Viewing Your Facebook Memories
On the Facebook app, tap the menu icon in the top or bottom right corner, then tap "Memories" on the left. On the Facebook website, click "Memories" at the top-left corner of your feed. You cannot browse Memories from other dates—only today's Memories are shown.
Steps
Method 1 Method 1 of 2:
Using the Facebook Mobile App

1 Open the Facebook app on your Android, iPhone, or iPad. It's a white "F" on a blue background.
2 Tap the Menu ☰ button. You'll see it at the top-right corner on Android, and the bottom-right on an iPhone or iPad. Advertisement
3 Tap Memories. It's the clock and curved arrow icon in the upper-left area of the menu.
4 Scroll through your memories. You'll see different posts, photos, anniversaries, and content you were tagged in on today's date from past years.
You can share a memory on your timeline by tapping Share below it.
5 Tap Manage Settings at the top to customize your Memories. On this page, you can control whether you're notified of new Memories and filter out Memories involving certain Facebook users or dates.
6 Manage your Facebook Memories notifications. You can select All Memories to be notified every day a memory is shared, Highlights to only be notified of select memories, or None to stop seeing Memories notifications.
7 Hide Memories from specific dates and/or people. If particular anniversaries and content might be painful to see, you can prevent Facebook from displaying Memories from specific dates and people.
Tap People to choose people you don't want to see in your Memories.
Tap Dates to omit certain dates from Memories.
