As Facebook continues to reign the social media sphere, people are adding more than enough contents to it. But as time passes by, those contents that can be buried far below newer ones.
With Facebook having endless collection of users' photos and comments, for users to reach part an old memory, it can them a long time to scroll down the photo lane. While Facebook usually highlights memories from years past, it's adding an option to add some recent memories too.
The company is launching a feature which collects memories from recent pasts, such as past months or seasons.
This can be useful for users, especially for those that had uploaded or tagged a lot on Facebook. Because it can bundle photos from recent events into one package, users can easily browse them without having to waste time remembering and scrolling.
By default, it's only visible to the user. There is an option to share the memories to others if they want.
Facebook "On This Day" feature is also available to everyone. The feature essentially shows what users were up to at the same date the year before.
The company also made it easier to control what shows up on the feature, while improving its filtering algorithm process to keep those memories associated with negative events or feelings from showing up in its suggestions.
Then there is a feature that celebrates certain milestone.
While the social network already allows users to celebrate their friendship anniversaries on Facebook with playful posts and videos, the introduced feature focuses on notable achievements - like for example, reaching 100 friends or 1,000 likes.
Facebook is intending to expand the feature with more milestones, as well as allowing users to publicly share their achieved achievements.
It's like Facebook wants to give a reward to its users based on their activity on its platform, and somehow similar to gaming achievements. But the intent seems to be helping people feel good about their online interactions.
