About Facebook Memories
Memories on Facebook can include posts you’ve shared, Facebook posts others have tagged you in, and Facebook anniversaries for when you became friends with others. Memories are for the current date, but back in years as long as you’ve had your Facebook account. If you don’t see any Memories it means Facebook doesn’t have anything to display for that day in the past. There’s no switch or setting to turn off Facebook Memories; however, you can control notifications and hide people or dates, which we’ll describe below.
Find Memories in the Facebook Mobile App
While you can often see Memories in your Feed, you can see those from many years past in the Memories section.
Change Settings for Facebook Memories on Mobile
You can change the notifications for your Facebook Memories as well as keep certain people or specific dates from displaying in Memories. You’ll then see Memories for “On This Day” for previous years.
Find Memories on the Facebook Website
Like on your mobile device, you can see Memories in your Feed on the Facebook website. But of course, you can access Memories there as well. If you choose People, begin typing a name and select the correct one when it appears. Tap the arrow at the top to go back. If you choose Dates, enter a Start and End date and tap Save. You can then exit the Memories Settings using the back arrow at the top and return to the Menu by tapping the arrow again.
Change Settings for Facebook Memories on the Web
If you’d like to change the notifications or hide people or dates from your Memories on the web, it’s just as easy as on your mobile device. You’ll see shared Facebook posts on the current day from years past. You can return to the main screen by clicking the Home icon in the top navigation.
