Facebook has been coming out with innovative ideas. ‘On This Day’ is one such concept which it has launched very recently. The feature is in its initial stage, and has not been made available to all at the moment. The objective of ‘On This Day’ is to refresh your memory and get you back those old status, comments and photos that you posted in the Facebook on the same day - one, two or several years back. In fact, ‘On This Day’ is a new way of looking back at those things which you shared and tagged in on the Facebook in the past. This unique page of yours will be visible to you alone, unless you choose to share this too with your friends.
‘On This Day’ brings you memories to look back on from that particular day in your Facebook history, and get your content – status, comments, photos, etc. - of the same day in the past. To view your ‘On This Day’ page, you need to click on the ‘On This Day’ bookmark, search for ‘On This Day’, or visit http://facebook.com/onthisday. While you are there, you get the option to edit and delete old posts, or decide to share your memories with friends. Once you are on the page, you also can exercise the option to subscribe to notifications that would give alerts when you have memories to look back on.

If you want to turn on notifications to see when you have memories to look back on, you have to visit facebook.com/onthisday and click Get Notifications. Similarly for turning notifications off, you need to visit the same page, click Notifications and select ‘off’. In case, you wish to share a particular post or photo from this page, you should click ‘Share’ at the bottom of the relevant post. Here you are provided several options: (a) select where you’re sharing to (b) add a message or update, (c) tag your friends, (d) add your location, (e) add what you’re doing or feeling and (f) select your audience. When you share a memory, you can choose which audience to share with. Thus, the newly introduced feature of Facebook can help you relive your past and refresh your memories for you to cherish.
