Have you noticed the new ways Facebook has brought for you to enjoy sharing memories with friends? If you haven’t, then know that Facebook on 25th August announced new ways to enjoy memories with friends.
No doubt Facebook has remained the most innovative media of all times bringing people together and giving new meaning to networking. It has also continued to champion new cultures in this 21st century. Facebook at all times works to improve the way you experience their services and this latest move may be more than you’ve ever expected.

We all know how much people come to Facebook to experience, share and talk about some of the most important moments happening in their lives. Many of these moments are reminiscing past memories and moments between friends. And this new way launched by Facebook may well change the entire game of memory sharing.

Facebook spokes person said, “Since launching On This Day more than two years ago, we’ve learned that there are many different types of memories and moments that people enjoy revisiting and celebrating, which is why we are excited to share that we’ve added two new ways for people to relive meaningful memories and celebrate special moments on Facebook.”

So here are the three new ways to look out for.

1. Recapping Your Memories

With the new approach, you will have a new experience that packages your recent memories in a delightful way for you to enjoy and share. For related recent memories, Facebook will bundle them into a monthly or seasonal memory recap story. Like On This Day, these memory recap stories will show up in News Feed and are shareable.

Celebrate Your Friendships

Facebook is launching a new way to celebrate the actions that connect you and your community on Facebook. There are two types of moments where you may see these celebratory messages – when you make a notable number of friends on Facebook, and when your friends have liked your posts. They plan to launch more messages like this in the next few months. Additionally, these messages are currently only shown to you, but will become sharable in the near future.

Updates to On This Day and Memory Preferences

According to the spokesperson, they received input from people over the past two years and have worked to improve On This Day, such as making controls and preferences easier to access. On This Day is one of it’s most popular experiences and this feature is now available to everyone on Facebook.

Finally, They recognise the occasional times when there are some memories that may spark negative feelings that you would rather avoid. They’re investing a lot in developing ways to filter content that will select photos they believe may be the most relevant and enjoyable to you.

“We know how much people cherish their friendships and memories, which is why we approach these experiences with sensitivity and care. Our goal is to create a supportive environment that allows you to express your feelings and connect with what matters to you and your community”, he added.
