If you are part of a billion and more than people who use Facebook to connect with friends and family, you can now use the social networking site to celebrate automatically your important memories. ‘ On This Day ‘ – ‘ It happened today ‘ in Italian – is the new tool launched by Facebook that collects all kinds of things, from birthdays to anniversaries of marriage registered in a date prior to the current day and creates the notifications that are displayed in a dedicated page on the site, accessible from your News Feed on both desktop and mobile.

Facebook has tested the function for several years, but it is only Now, at the developer conference (F8) 2015 , which is held the official debut, after the company has taken the time to analyze the feedback from people who have had access to a beta of the tool in the past months.

In practice, ‘It Happened Today’ show every day users what has happened in their life social on that date, but in the previous years. content will be visible only to you , who can choose to share them in your timeline or delete them, if the memories are not so pleasant.

“People often relate to old photos and other content that they shared on Facebook, “ writes the social network in a post on his blog, ” and many have told us of like products and functions thanks to which they can do with more ease. Today we are presenting happened today, a new way to rediscover pictures and memories that you shared and post where you have tagged on Facebook. Only you can see the page happened today. “

” It happens now shows you the contents that have been published in the past on that date. “explains Facebook.” For example, you might see status updates, photos, friends’ posts and other content you’ve shared or in which you have tagged, a year ago, two years ago, and so on. Only you will see this content unless you decide to share them with your friends. “

Currently, there is no way to remove the memories less beautiful, but Facebook has confirmed that an algorithm will work to filter potentially unpleasant memories, such as the messages of people with whom the friendship is over.

‘It Happened Today’ will not be proposed only memories like weddings and special events, but also posts in which you have been tagged and who received more attention from the public (number of comments, likes, and so on). You have been tagged for example while you were traveling in Times Square in New York City with a group of friends on the 25th March 2014? Well, on March 25, 2015 Facebook will remind you of this photo.

The new ‘On This Day’ is already being distributed to all users around the world, but it may take hours because you see it in your profile. In Italy, the function will be called ‘On this day’. To see the memories just click, once logged into Facebook, the bookmark in the ‘News’, try ‘It Happened Today’ or visit facebook.com / onthisday, where you can choose to enable notifications to alert you when you have memories past; you can also edit and delete old posts or decide to share memories with friends.
